Overall Satisfaction with Cassandra

Used for specific product (which is used by whole organization). Addressing for column store we need for uniqueness of proprietary information that Redis and Mongo does not support.
  • Masterless
  • Schema-less
  • Multiple datacenter usage w/ little or no data loss
  • Rebuild/repair of objects (tables) in the keyspaces, allow to ignore keyspaces to repair.
  • Monitoring tool form opscenter support for Cassandra 3.x (or some other open source tool)
  • UI browser type to view data (rather than csql)
Against HBase, writes were faster. Reads not so much. Also ability to store in other formats would be good (such as objects). Compared to aerospike, does not compare. Aerospike blows it out of water.
Using open source. Will not use datastax commercial edition. Might be considering into moving into cockroachDB soon.
[Cassandra is well suited to] schema-less dataset for large key value stores.
