Well, astyanax I know can simulate streaming into cassandra and disperses the file to multiple rows in the cluster so you could check that out.
Out of curiosity, why is HDFS not good for a small file size? For reading, it should be the bomb with RF=3 since you can read from multiple nodes and such. Writes might be a little slower but still shouldn't be too bad.

We are planning to use cassandra for meta-data for these files. HDFS is not good for small file size .. can we look at something else ?
