  Cassandra was open sourced by Facebook in 2008, where it was designed by =
Avinash Lakshman (one of the authors of Amazon's Dynamo) and Prashant Malik=
 ( Facebook Engineer ). In a lot of ways you can think of Cassandra as Dyna=
mo 2.0 or a marriage of Dynamo and !BigTable.  Cassandra is in production u=
se at Facebook but is still under heavy development.
