At twitter we're working on using Cassandra to replace our currents storage for all tweets. We have a cluster in production that's being populated outside the the user-critical path (ie, the cassandra writing is async).
Additionally, we're testing and evaluating for basically everything else in our stack. We evaluated a lot of things: a custom mysql impl, voldemort, hbase, mongodb, memcachdb, hypertable, and others. -ryan On Fri, Nov 20, 2009 at 1:17 PM, Jonathan Ellis <jbel...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'd love to get a better feel for who is using Cassandra and what kind > of applications it is seeing.
