You're assuming incorrectly. I'm looking an example of someone using
Cassandra to store a graph.

There are free dumps of Twitter datasets (
http://www.public.asu.edu/~mdechoud/datasets.html).

>From there, I should somehow 'reverse engineer' those datas to store them in
cassandra as they were originally stored.

I could synthesize fake datas, store them in cassandra (or similar) and from
there continue. But the results would be less attracting than similar ones
originated by real datas.

thanks for the suggestions.
