Thanks everyone for the feedback and suggestions! They are all very helpful. I'm looking forward to having more discussions about the implementation details.
As the next step, we will be focus on three areas: 1. Pluggable storage engine interface. 2. Wide column support on RocksDB. 3. Streaming support on RocksDB. I will go ahead and create some JIRAs, to start the discussion about pluggable storage interface, and how to plug RocksDB into Cassandra. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks! Dikang.
