For click tracking data I might look at Hadoop as well. It can handle
the writes, replication, etc. along with being mechanisms for
crunching large datasets built in (e.g. MapReduce).
That being said, you're working with data that, for the most part, it
won't be the end of the world if you lose a click here or there.
Cassandra, of course, will handle the HA writes and replication for you.

Hi,
How stupid would it be to use cassandra as a permanent datastore?
Say I have a service that tracks clicks on ads running on other sites.
I'd need to keep track of who clicked what when and where. And run
reports on it. Cassandra is attractive because of the built-in
replication and the high write availability.
