Alternative Solandra for cassandra

Anyone knows an alternative to Solandra in Cassandra?

I can't use "like" clause, and in my case i'll use always.

Thanks.

You have 3 options to bring advanced search capabilities with Cassandra:

  • Datastax Solr as already mentioned

  • Elassandra = ElasticSearch on Cassandra. https://github.com/strapdata/elassandra and http://www.strapdata.com/ It's a good product, we use it in my company. The community edition is free and the latest release combine Cassandra 3.11 with Elasticsearch 5.5. You will see on their website that there is some free trial hosted solution you could use to test.

  • Stratio lucene plugin https://github.com/Stratio/cassandra-lucene-index It's free, it works, we also use it in my company. It's just a jar to drop in the Cassandra lib directory.

Of course, for very basic search needs, you can have a look at SASI too.

Datastax provides a "tweaked" version of Apache Solr (which saves data directly into Cassandra instead of flat files) to do real-time full-text search. It's called Datastax Enterprise Solution. Of course is not free.

As an alternative, you can couple Cassandra with an Elastic Search cluster but it's kind of heavy just for text search.

Last but not least, try to implement yourself a full text search using Lucene as engine and some hand-made Cassandra tables for storage, good luck though.
