Cassandra, hard to use? I disagree completely. With that said, there are definitely deficiencies in certain parts of the documentation, but nothing that is a show stopper. We’ve been using Cassandra since the sub 1.0 days and have had nothing but great things to say about it.
With that said, its an open source project; you get from it what you’re willing to put in. If you just expect something that installs, asks a couple of questions and you’re off to the races, Cassandra might not be for you. If you’re willing to put in the time to understand how Cassandra works, and how it fits into your use case, and if it is the right fit for your use case, you’ll be more than happy, I bet. If there are things that are lacking, that you can’t find a work around for, submit a PR! That’s the beauty of open source projects.
