Certification is good when a community gets to the point that proverbial management cannot easily discern between posers and those that know what they are talking about. I hope one day Cassandra and it's community grows to that point but as of now there is enough transparency in my opinion.
I would no more get a Cassandra certification than I would get one from Cloudera for Hadoop (no offense) nor even a CISSP (which I could do also). I would rather see a certification in "scalable distributed computing solutions" paramount to what the CSA (Cloud Security Alliance) has done with security. Cassandra is the answer in a lot of situations, but not always the answer. It is probably one of the best tools in your toolbox. As the saying goes => a man with a hammer every problem is a nail, DON'T BE THAT GUY.
