let's say periodically (daily) I need to dump out the contents of my Cassandra DB, and do a import into oracle , or some other custom data stores, is there a way to do it?
I checked that you can do multi-get() but you probably can't pass the entire key domain into the API, cuz the entire db would be returned on a single thrift call, and probably overflow the API? plus multi-get underneath just sends out per-key lookups one by one, while I really do not care about which key corresponds to which result, a simple scraping of the underlying SSTable would be perfect, because I could utilize the file cache coherency as I read down the file.
