Ben Standefer commented on CASSANDRA-873:
-----------------------------------------
A good idea brought up by Edward Capriolo (not a student, so students feel free
to run with this one) is a Splunk knock-off. Splunk is software that indexes
logs (syslog, Apache logs, app logs, whatever) in lots of different ways and
makes your logs highly searchable and filter-able via a front-end web
interface. http://www.splunk.com/product.
While the Splunk product is powerful and awesome, the licensing is not (they
license by usage instead of per-seat).
I think a Splunk knock-off would be a good demo app for people just getting
into Cassandra because parsing logs is an easy concept to understand and it
could start off very simple. There is a lot of opportunity to utilize all
features of the Cassandra API (range queries, search indexes, property-specific
indexes).
Think Facebook's classic "Inbox Search" for 400M users, but applied to log data.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-873
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
> Priority: Minor
>
> http://twissandra.com/ is a demo Cassandra application built on django +
> pycassa. It's a great Cassandra showcase and very useful for people learning
> Cassandra. We could use more of those.
> Jake Luciani suggested one that presents full-text search of Wikipedia using
> Lucandra (see
> http://blog.sematext.com/2010/02/09/lucandra-a-cassandra-based-lucene-backend/
> and http://github.com/tjake/Lucandra). Feel free to propose other
> application ideas here.
> Rackspace is willing to provide a VM to deploy on for a live demo, but
> remember, to be really useful this needs full DIY instructions, the final
> product is not the demo but the code + instructions.
