Why would you want to do inbox search with cassandra? (Just Kidding after
all that was it's first use case at Facebook). I would say your best best
is to research solandra or those doing full text search in Cassandra.

[Dotan N.]

I'm sorry if I misrepresented the domain. it is not inbox search, but
implementation of inbox. that is: write messages for users, get messages
for a user, get unread messages for a user, mark messages as read for a
user.
basically this is it.
although (and due to) the use cases are simple we're aiming at cassandra
due to the large amount of users we expect.

Hi Dotan,

We have already built something similar and were planning to open source 
it. It will be available under http://www.elasticinbox.com/.


We haven't followed exactly IBM's paper, we believe our Cassandra model 
design is more robust. It's written in Java and provides LMTP and REST 
interfaces. ElasticInbox also stores original messages outside of the 
Cassandra, in the blob store.


Let me know if you are interested, I will need some time to do cleanup.

Regards,
Rustam.

I would be very interested in this. I wrote a prototype for JAMES which
uses cassandra to store emails and provide them via IMAP and POP3 so it
would be nice to see your impl.
