Thanks Jeremy for your response. That gives me some encouragement, that I might be on that right track.
I think I need to try out more stuff before coming to a conclusion on Brisk. For Pig operations over Cassandra, I only could find http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/trunk/contrib/pig. Are there any other resource that you can point me to? There seems to be a lack of samples on this subject.
