So right now I have plenty of quality and robust full text search systems I can use.
Solr cloud, elastic search. They all also have very robust UIs on top of them… kibana, banana, etc. and my alternative for cassandra is… paying for a proprietary database. Which might be fine for some parties… but I want something that is documented and supported by the community and all the advantages of open source. So is DSE really giving Datastax that much of a win? I’m sure they are making money of it… and I hope they’re successful of course. But I can’t help but feeling that cassandra as an open source project is being hindered by lack of a full text option. Additionally, some people can get away with storing the content directly in a full text system and skipping the cassandra route altogether. Seems like a situation without many winners… -- Founder/CEO Spinn3r.com Location: *San Francisco, CA* blog: http://burtonator.wordpress.com … or check out my Google+ profile <https://plus.google.com/102718274791889610666/posts> <http://spinn3r.com>
