Switching from MySQL to Cassandra using Cassandra modules?
Hello,
Maybe one day I need Cassandra. I hope I can use only Cassandra without MySQL.
(Cassandra modules: http://drupal.org/project/cassandra)
I have some question:
1. Do I need to change the codes in modules (example: Views, CCK, etc) currently used to communicate with Cassandra? Or by using the api from this module?
2. If I have a website already running, how to migrate data from MySQL? Using Hadoop?
Thanks in advance.

that is just a module api to
that is just a module api to communicate with cassandra, not 1 module or does currently work with cassandra.
i bet you wont need cassandra even
best bet you have is use mongodb
Drupal is bot going to work
Drupal is not going to work with Cassandra for core and pre-existing module functionality. Cassandra is NOT well suited for doing everything done in core either. Document databases are NOT a drop in replacement for RDBMS like MySQL.
If you want to ditch MySQL,
If you want to ditch MySQL, Drupal 7 is your man. Er, release, or something. It will support MySQL, PostgreSQL, and (my personal fave) SQLite out of the box. In addition, there will be contrib-space support for SQL Server, backed by MS themselves, and prominent developer chx is working hard to make MongoDB a contender.
