Create Cassandra gateway

[hz]

Create Cassandra gateway or some other nosql solution based in 0.7 maybe?

[kimchy]

Sounds like a plan!, which other nosql were you thinking about?

[hz]

Because I see there is no issue about the nosql gateway plan. So create this one.
Cassandra I most prefer.

riak might be worth looking into too... although they're supposedly rolling out their own lucene based search solution

[kimchy]

I am not sure that riak fits well to store blobs of data, which is what the gateway stores.

hfs/hadoop ?

[kimchy]

There is already a gateway that stores the index in HDFS. The usage of "shared storage" gateways will need to be revisited once 0.11 is out which supports local gateway (no need for a shared one).

Any news on a possible Cassandra integration?
There's Lucandra but ES looks sexier :)

[kimchy]

What type of integration are you after? The gateway aspect with cassandra is just an option, which you won't need when using local gateway (for example). Its a different feature than storing the terms in cassandra as Lucandara does.

Thanks for the quick reply.
After taking another look at how ES uses gateways, I realized that I don't need them for my scenario. Sorry for the confusion.

[hz]

Yeah. No need to implement Cassandra gateway. Close it.
