Hello people, i'm new in Cassandra. Sorry if i'm offending with this question, but, i have to ask:
I've been taking a look at Cassandra code for a while (since last year) and using and trying it "in home". Nowdays i've started to take a look at the "new stuff", more precisely to CQL. I think it's great, I mean, just taking a look at Eric presentation (http://www.datastax.com/2011/07/video-eric-evans-on-cql) makes you love just it. But, now i'm wondering: isn't it a one-way path? The kind you never returns? I mean, if the Cassandra starts to grow in complexity, and the datamodel extends a little bit, and everything start to grow, and things like "query parsing", "query execution planning", "query optimization" start to arise, would't it go against the first "simple, fast" philosophy of the beginning? Again, sorry if i misunderstood something, or if I sound like an idiot, but i needed to ask. Thank you for your time. -- Santiago Basulto.-
