Hi, we are currently considering to switch from Lucene + Cassandra to *Lucandra*, mainly for the following reasons:
* Ability to have many threads writing in the same index at the same time; * Live results without the need to close/re-open the index reader; * Easy scaling to many nodes thanks to Cassandra's scaling abilities; * Possibility to boost Lucene's sorting abilities by using many Cassandra ColumnFamilies; * No mismatch between data in Lucene and Cassandra (when used separately). We were told that Lucandra is ready to be used in a production system and that we would have access to all the Lucene features we're currently using (wildcard searches, ranges, pagination, sort, filters); but we couldn't find any big success stories about Lucandra - that's why I'm writing here today! So if you or someone you know worked on a project using Lucandra (especially systems involving a lot of data because we have millions and millions and millions of documents to deal with), please let me know: I'm very interested to get feedback about your experiences. Thanks, Mike
