雖然go目前還沒有cassandra的connection library，不過已經有相關討論了。
(不管寫什麼都要置入性行銷一下go)
http://cassandra.apache.org/
cassandra 是Apache Top level Project之一，facebook,Digg 跟 Twitter 都有採用它作為一部分的資料庫.
cassandra 是一個cluster database 就像 BigTable 一樣，但他們還是不同的。
從CAP理論(http://devblog.streamy.com/2009/08/24/cap-theorem/)的角度來看
一致性（Consistency）: “Is the data I’m looking at now the same if I look at it somewhere else?”
系統可用性（Availability）: “What happens if my database goes down?”
分散容錯（Partition tolerance）: “What if my data is on different networks?”
BigTable偏向於CA, 而cassandra則是AP。
Cassandra的API應用也相當廣泛. php, perl, python, ruby 甚至連haskell都有支援.
目前我只試過兩套python的api, lazyboy跟pycassa
簡單執行
git clone http://giturl
sudo python setup.py install
就可以安裝這兩套library了.
以下是lazyboy的example code.
from lazyboy import *
from lazyboy.key import Key
import time;
# Define your cluster(s)
begin = 0;
btime = time.time();
connection.add_pool('Keyspace1', ['192.168.23.168:9160', '192.168.23.169:9160','192.168.23.172:9160'])
for i in xrange(begin, begin + 500000):
if i!=begin and (i % 10000) == 0:
print time.time() - btime;
btime = time.time();
rc = record.Record({'value': i, 'text': "ruslan text"})
rc.key = Key("Keyspace1", "Standard1", str(i));
rc.save(0);
print time.time() - btime;
pycassa也是很nice
import pycassa
client = pycassa.connect(['192.168.23.168:9160', '192.168.23.169:9160'])
cf = pycassa.ColumnFamily(client, 'Keyspace1', 'Standard1')
cf.insert('foo', {'column1': 'val1'})
cf.get('foo')
print(cf.get('foo')['column1'])

個人還是比較喜歡劍魂中的遊戲人物 cassandra
