I was looking at this from CASSANDRA-873 as well as hands-on homework (!) for my OSCON tutorial. Have couple of questions. Would appreciate insights:
A) Cassandra-873 suggests Luenandra as one demo application B) Are there other ideas that will bring out the various aspects of Cassandra ? C) What would be the goal of demo apps ? Tutorial to help folks learn the ins and outs of Cassandra ? Show case capabilities ? I think Cassandra-873 belongs to the latter; Twissandra most probably belongs to the former. D) Hadoop on Cassandra might be a good demo/tutorial E) How would one structure the infrastructure for the demo/tutorials ? What assumptions can we make in creating them ? As AMIs to be run in EC2 ? Also to be run on 2-3 local machines for folks who can spare some ? Or as multiple processes - all in one machine ? What is an optimum configuration for learning and demo ? We need to make it simple (to reflect the domain) but not simpler. F) Am looking for ideas from developers and users - hence the cross posting. I hope apache mailer is smart enough to dedup - will find it soon ... Cheers <k/>
