Storng Solr index in Cassandra

[Andy <an...@yahoo.com>]

Lucandra stores Solr index in Cassandra. What is the advantage of that compared to regular Solr?

Anyone with experience with Lucandra Solr they can share?

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! :)
