Re: How to migrate any relational database to Cassandra

2010-08-06 Thread Michael Dürgner
In my opinion it's the wrong approach when so ask how to migrate from MySQL to Cassandra from a database level view. The lack of joins in NoSQL should lead to think about what you wanna get out of your persistent storage and afterwards think about how to migrate and most of the time how to denor
