Andy, have a look at:
http://blog.sematext.com/2010/02/09/lucandra-a-cassandra-based-lucene-backend/ "One of the big differentiators of Cassandra is it does not rely on a global file system as Hbase and BigTable do. Rather, Cassandra uses decentralized peer to peer “Gossip” which means two things: 1. It has no single point of failure, and 2. Adding nodes to the cluster is as simple as pointing it to any one live nodeCassandra also has built-in multi-master writes, replication, rack awareness, and can handle downed nodes gracefully." I'll have the video of http://www.meetup.com/NYC-Search-and-Discovery/calendar/12979971/ up by the end of 2010, I promise! :) Otis ---- Sematext :: http://sematext.com/ :: Solr - Lucene - Nutch Lucene ecosystem search :: http://search-lucene.com/ ----- Original Message ---- > From: Andy <angelf...@yahoo.com> > To: solr-user@lucene.apache.org > Sent: Thu, April 22, 2010 1:33:53 PM > Subject: Storng Solr index in Cassandra > > Lucandra stores Solr index in Cassandra.
