Stratio’s Cassandra Lucene Index for online reporting

[ipvpbr]

Considering that Stratio’s Cassandra Lucene Index, "..is a plugin for Apache Cassandra that extends its index functionality to provide near real time search such as ElasticSearch or Solr..".

Can I use Stratio’s Cassandra Lucene Index to build a online reporting functionality within my application ?

Is anyone doing something like that ?

Hi @ipvpbr,

Thank you for your interest in the project.

Yes, I think you can use Cassandra-lucene-index as backend for your reporting functionality.

Elastic was designed as a search engine and not as a datastore. Cassandra works very well as a high performance and scalable datasotre. Querying data is different from searching for data.

As you can see in the documentation, we use the Lucene engine to generate indexes on the stored data, including full-text search capabilities, free multivariate search, geospatial search and bitemporal search and also have all the advantages of Cassandra's distributed architecture.

The Cassandra-lucene-index team has been involved in designing various reporting solutions based on Cassandra's excellent time series capability. https://academy.datastax.com/resources/getting-started-time-series-data-modeling

Hope this helps Regards
