Usually one would go with a search engine such as Solr or Elasticsearch for an e-commerce product catalog query..
Ad-doc and complex queries are generally an antipattern for Cassandra, but you can use the Stratio plugin to do multi-column Lucene search or DataStax Enterprise Search to perform full Solr searches, including faceting. The new SASI secondary index feature in Cassandra 3.4 can be used for some more sophisticated searches as well, but it's not quite up to what Stratio and DSE Search can do. -- Jack Krupansky On Tue, Apr 12, 2016 at 8:07 PM, Gross, Daniel <daniel.gr...@intel.com> wrote: > Hi, > > > > I am new to Cassandra. > > > > I am wondering how well does Cassandra perform in e-commerce applications > that have large taxonomies for products with many user searchable product > attributes; when many concurrent users in fact submit multi criteria > searchers for products: > > > > E.g.
