Hi Matt,

This is definitely not at all an authoritative opinion... I am still
figuring things out with Cassandra... Others may want to correct me...
Charles Maxwood(sp?) started a 'Sandra' project on github to make access to
Cassandra, more or less, similar to Active Record... it is very early stage
work, but you may want to check with him and see what is happening... I
forked it thinking that I can push hard and get it working, but elas...
haven't gotten to it yet...

https://github.com/charlesmaxwood/Sandra

I think 'Sandra' uses the fauna 'cassandra' gem, but I may be wrong..

Good luck, and keep us informed... I may be able to help early in January
2012..

I&#39;m working on transferring an existing Ruby on Rails project from Post=
