I would like to prevent myself/my team from acquiring too many of those scars, so please elaborate on what caused them ;) Especially if those scars came from Cassandra or HBase! The test hasn't been a "concocted scenario", it's measuring the performance[1] of a prototype implementati…
> The test hasn't been a "concocted scenario" Btw, b/c I can totally see why you'd read it that way, that particular barb wasn't directed at you, more directed at some of the public benchmarks touted by (non-distributed) NoSQL database systems. Re: cassandra, please see my reply to the sibling on this thread. Also, feel free to email me jamie@bu.mp if I can answer any specific questions for you with things we ran int…

And Neo4j is ridiculously sweet -- store 32 billion nodes ( http://blog.neo4j.org/2011/03/neo4j-13-ab…
