Hi All,

```
 Does anyone in the group have any experience with Cassandra DB? We

```

are considering going with it for either a primary or secondary  
database. We would like to know what others have found with it because  
it seems that to even get it up and running will take a lot of hoop  
jumping with thrift and what not.

```
 We are also having issues determining exactly how to get up and run

```

with it for experimentation.

```
 Any help/opinions/advice would be be appreciated.

```

Regards,

Jesse
