Why do you need Solandra for storing data ? If you want to retrieve data simply use Cassandra. Solandra is for research and indexing it is a search engine. I do not recommand you to store data uniquely in a search engine.
Use the following desgin : *Store ALL data in Cassandra then extract from Cassandra only the data you need to index in Solandra. For what it matters you can use Solr instead of Solandra. In SolR you have something called schema.xml where you can set up which fields to index. My advice is do not store you passwords in plain text. Add salt (random sequence) AND hash it then insert the bytes in Cassandra. Otherwise you'll end up like Sony and a massive lawsuit when hackers will breach in your website and steal the passwords.* If you really want to use Solandra I guess there is an equivalent to the schema.xml where you have lines to tell wether or not to index some fields.
