Re: howto do sql query like in a relational database
Hello Anton, You need to look into Datastax Entreprise (DSE) Offering. It integrates Solr search which allows you to do searches like the one you mention. There are also some opensource projects doing this kind of integration, so its up to you. And as Oded mentioned Cassandra really shines on key queries.
