I am not that familiar with gizzard but with gizzard + mysql , you have multiple moving parts in the system that need to managed separately. You'll need the mysql expert for mysql and the gizzard expert to manage the distributed part. It can be argued that long term this will have higher adminstration cost
Cassandra's value add is its simple peer to peer architecture that is easy to manage - a single database solution that is distributed, scalable, highly available etc. In other words, once you gain expertise cassandra, you get everything in one package. regards On Thu, Dec 29, 2016 at 4:05 AM, Sikander Rafiq <hafiz_ra...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm exploring Cassandra for handling large data sets for mobile app, but > i'm not clear where it stands. > > > If we use MySQL as underlying database and Gizzard for building custom > distributed databases (with arbitrary storage technology) and Memcached for > highly queried data, then where lies Cassandra? > > > As i have read that Twitter uses both Cassandra and Gizzard.
