Are there plans to offer Cassandra as plugin?

Are they any plans to offer Cassandra-GORM as a Grails plugin like you
did for Redis?

Before waiting for any milestone, is it possible to use it from the
inconsequential Git sources already do start evaluating?

There is already some cassandra code here:

http://github.com/grails/inconsequential/tree/master/spring-datastore-cassandra/

However it is early days and only really supports CRUD operations (no querying)

Hi Graeme,

I've seen this code, but as you said it looks less complete than the
Redis code (e.g. no gorm layer).
From that I assumed, that I can't use it as a plugin right now. Or am
I just not seeing it?

Btw, what was the driver to move towards Cassandra (after Redis)?
There is HBase, Voldemort and others.

Best regards,
klaus.

Yes it is not complete as I said, its just a prototype at this stage.

There is no drive to move towards Cassandra, during the development of the Redis plugin I wanted to ensure I prototyped against two datastores to make sure what I was building could operate against two datastores.

With the validation that it can we can now consider what we do next. Ideally we would prefer to partner with the community to build out the other modules, but there are many candidates for the next implementation including Cassandra, Mongodb and others

Cheers
