But, we have had little issue maintaining the cluster which is indexing between 800 and 2500 objects a minute right now. --Joe

Just that it required *minimal* administration. I'd say we spend about a quarter of an engineer managing it. Where management REALLY shines with Cassandra is expanding and contracting the cluster. It takes very, very little work to do that in comparison to other solutions. --Joe
