Hi We are using Cassandra 1.6 at this moment. We start to work with Hector, because it is the first recommendation that you can find in a simple google search for java clients Cassandra.
We start using Hector but when we start to have non dynamically column families, that can be managed using cql, we start to use astyanax because: - It is easy to understand the code even for people who has never worked with Cassandra. - The cql implementation offer more capabilities - Astyanax is prepared to use Cql 3 and with hector we experienced some problems (probably our fault, but with Astyanax everything works from the beginning). - Astyanax allow to use compound primary keys. In next months we are going to substitute Hector by Astyanax totally but at this moment we are using both: - Astyanax for cql. - Hector for dynamic column families.

Couple of questions- 1) Does Astyanax client have any problem with previous version of Cassandra? 2) You said one problem, that it will consume more memory? Can you elaborate that slightly? What do you mean by that? 3) Does Astyanax supports asynch capabilities?

Now I am in the process of evaluating which Cassandra client I should go forward with. I am mainly interested in these three- --1) Astyanax client 2--) New Datastax client that uses Binary protocol. --3) Pelops client Can anyone provide some thoughts on this? Some advantages and disadvantages for these three will be great start for me. Keeping in mind, we are running Cassandra 1.2.2 in production environment. Thanks for the help. -- Everton Lima Aleixo Bacharel em Ciência da Computação pela UFG Mestrando em Ciência da Computação pela UFG Programador no LUPA
