I also have used datastax with great success (same disclaimer). A specific example: -I setup a one-on-one call to talk through an issue, in my case a server reconfiguration. It took 2 days to find a time to meet, though that was my fault as I believe they could have worked me in within a day. I wanted to split an existing cluster into 'oltp' and 'analytics', similar to what brisk does now out of the box. -During the call they walked me through all of the steps I'd have to do, answered any questions I had, and filled in the blanks for some of the reasoning behind their recommendations. -After the call I recieved constant support through the reconfiguration. For example: I found out that Ec2Snitch doesn't play nicely with PropertyFileSnitch in a rolling restart (all of the Ec2Snitch based servers stopped working immediately as soon as a PropFileSnitch server joined the ring, this is in 0.8.4), and they wrote a custom patch for me that made it work within a day. -In particular, Ben and Jackson helped me, so if either of you read the user list, thanks again!
