Aljoscha, Sure thing, will do after key/group feature in place when we got bandwith :)
Gyula, That's where we started, many terms are copied over(logical timestamp, compaction, lazy restore). we have to use Cassandra which offer less in transaction and consistency to gain availability and cross data center replication. It leverage RocksDB as pre-checkpoint cache and evict/lazy restore from Cassandra.
