Nicola Orrù commented on CASSANDRA-2995:
----------------------------------------

I wonder how alternative engines would perform on very large rows. One of the main rationales behind my choice for Cassandra was exactly that.

> Will you design and implement Cassandra's storage engine API like MyCassandra?
> MyCassandra provides extensible architecture for pluging other storage engines to Cassandra like MySQL.  
> https://github.com/sunsuk7tp/MyCassandra/

> It could be advantageous for Cassandra to make the storage engine pluggable.  This could allow Cassandra to 
> - deal with potential use cases where maybe the current sstables are not the best fit
> - allow several types of internal storage formats (at the same time) optimized for different data types
> - allow easier experiments and research on new storage formats (encourage research institutions to do strange things with Cassandra)
> - there could also be potential advantages from better isolation of the data engine in terms of less risk for data corruptions if other parts of Cassandra change
