And meanwhile, DataStax will continue to invest in and promote and support full text search of your Cassandra data with our tight integration of Solr in DataStax Enterprise.
BTW, there is in fact very strong interest in DataStax Enterprise, and not just as “support” for raw Cassandra, so I’m not so sure that I’d worry too much that DataStax is “hurting” in any way! And to be clear, even with DataStax enterprise, your data is still stored in the same sstables that you’ve come to love in Cassandra, and with the same CQL API as well, so your data is in no way trapped in... a “proprietary database.” Our Solr indexing is in addition to the storage of your data in Cassandra. Sure, there will be a few losers in any significantly large and complex activity, but rest assured that the vast majority will be winners here. And as DuyHai notes, there are indeed open source options available as well. -- Jack Krupansky From: DuyHai Doan Sent: Friday, October 3, 2014 3:54 AM To: user@cassandra.apache.org Subject: Re: is lack of full text search hurting cassandra and datastax? There are some options around for full text search integration with C*. Google for Stratio deep and Stargate. Both are open source Le 3 oct. 2014 06:31, "Kevin Burton" <bur...@spinn3r.com> a écrit : 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
