[Gluster-users] Cassandra on Gluster

[Jay Vyas]

hi there brian.

***

1) I don't think anyone in the gluster community has done much with
Cassandra on gluster.    but i could be wrong.  See (3) for my (postulated)
reason why.

2) Have you considered *HBase* (which we are actively testing and playing
with on many hadoop distributions) or *Riak*?  Those are both much more
"gluster freindly", i think, in that they have a more modular
architecture.  Also, because of the fact that cassandra requires
ridiculously large files, I always wonder wether any file system (other
than Cassandra's file system) is really *that* good of a fit.

3) Just my opinion, but whereas Riak has a modular storeage backend, and
HBase has an abstract "org.apache.hadoop.FileSystem" interfacial backend -
Cassandra sort of tries to do everything.  Firstly, providing both
key/value storage infrastructure, and secondly providing its own
distributed file system implementation, making it a little bit more
monolithic of a component in your stack.

4) FYI: We've recently setup an HBase on Gluster two node vagrant recipe.
You should play with it if you get a chance:

git clone https://forge.gluster.org/vagrant/fedora19-gluster/trees/master
cd gluster-hbase-example
vagrant destroy --force && vagrant up
