Re: Cassandra at Instagram with Dikang Gu interview by Jeff Carpenter

I agree with Jeff. I believe the _best_ part of Cassandra exists in its 
networking , replication , and fault tolerance. The storage engine is as dumb 
as disk or memory. If we can make it fast by replacing it , great. Maybe even 
optimize it in JVM.

With new paradigms like blockchain entering into the mainstream - eventually I 
see bridges between Cassandra and blockchain for organizations that need speed 
as well as fault tolerance for the “ledger”.

Rockssandra should eventually become part of Cassandra. The pluggable
storage has other benefits beyond avoiding JVM garbage.

I don't know what "concerns with Datastax and the binary protocols" means,
Apache Cassandra owns the protocol, not any company or driver.

Again, I'd really like to get a feel for scylla vs rocksandra vs cassandra.

Isn't the driver binary protocol the easiest / least redesign level of
storage engine swapping? Scylla and Cassandra and Rocksandra are currently
three options. Rocksandra can expand out it's non-java footprint without
rearchitecting the java codebase. Or are there serious concerns with
Datastax and the binary protocols?

It’s an interesting conversation. For more details about the pluggable
storage engine here is the link.

Cassandra at Instagram with Dikang Gu interview by Jeff Carpenter

2018-03-06 Thread Kenneth Brotman
Just released on DataStax Distributed Data Show, DiKang Gu of Instagram
interviewed by author Jeff Carpenter.

Found it really interesting:  Shadow clustering, migrating from 2.2 to 3.0,
using the Rocks DB as a pluggable storage engine for Cassandra
