Thanks for your feedback Kolar. Well to be honest I was thinking of using that connection in production, not for a backup node.
My Cassandra deployment works just like an expensive file caching and replication - I mean, all I use it for is to replicate some 5million files of 2M each across few nodes and intensively read/write. I used MySQL until around I had some 1.2Million entries, then sharding it when numbers grow larger. Not only the files themselves but I also need to attach some tags to each file (see them as key=value) so I though of Haadop but in the end settle for Cassandra because of better consistency, community support, no single point of failure and some!
