[Sal Fuentes <fu...@gmail.com>]

Are there any organizations planning on offering certification for
Cassandra?

A friends friend developed the FreeBSD certification. It is a actually a
difficult process either you need to give thousands of dollars to a place
like prometrics or you need to have people across the world that can
administer the test. You also need to design and keep changing the test
because it is sad but people cheat all the time. Check Google for (ccna test
answers). Some companies even make businesses of helping you cheat/prepare.

It would be cool but the biggest problem is administering the test around
the us/world.

Depending on where in the world you are, keep an eye / ear out for Data Stax training http://www.datastax.com/events

Certification is good when a community gets to the point that proverbial
management cannot easily discern between posers and those that know what
they are talking about.  I hope one day Cassandra and it's community grows
to that point but as of now there is enough transparency in my opinion.

I would no more get a Cassandra certification than I would get one from
Cloudera for Hadoop (no offense) nor even a CISSP (which I could do also).

I would rather see a certification in "scalable distributed computing
solutions" paramount to what the CSA (Cloud Security Alliance) has done with
security.  Cassandra is the answer in a lot of situations, but not always
the answer.  It is probably one of the best tools in your toolbox.

Does it really make sense?
If yes, I think Apache Cassandra Project (ASF) should offer Open
Certification. Other entity can offer courses, training materials.
