I've been trying to see if that's possible to combine Hive with Cassandra. I've noticed some issues about "integration" but it seems to me there's some mix-up about who is to patch things up. There are two issues: in Hive project [1] and in Cassandra [2]. The first one is "opened", but it ends with comment which says the patch has been send to the second issue. The second issue is marked as closed, because it's marked as duplicate of the first - Hive issue. So I guess no one is going to look at the closed issue in Cassandra project (and no one will apply the patch) and no one is going to do anything about it on Hive side (because the patch has been submitted to Cassandra). Anyway is there a chance this feature would be available soon?
[1] - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1434 [2] - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-913 By the way, I am hoping to achieve lower Hive latency by using the Cassandra, so that I get "online" processing tool. Is there a chance it would be possible? -- Szymon
