Basic question
All,
I am investigating how we can use Cassandra in our application. We have tokens and session information stored in db now and I am thinking of moving to Cassandra. Currently it's write and read intensive and having performance issue. Is it good idea to move couple of tables and integrate with application?
How do we find out which tables are best candidate for Cassandra?
I live in bay area and like to know if any group meet in bay area so that I can participate and understand more about Cassandra.

Sure.

Use the reporting tools in your existing database to figure out what
the highest-volume tables are, that don't require things like
transactions?

There's http://cassandrahackathon.eventbrite.com/, but it looks like
it's full now.
