A couple years ago we tried to attach it to an ApacheCon event, but the feedback from the ASF was fairly negative on attaching events. I don't think making it a part of Apache Big Data would work.
The alternative as an independent event with sponsorship will be really hard to coordinate and a potential political minefield. Tl;DR Cassandra Summit Japan could be an ideal place. Oh and Russ? You win for most awesome event activity ever.
