WordPress + Cassandra

   Now that WordPress MU will be integrated into the WordPress code base, it would be nice to see Cassandra integration. This be huge for very large scale multi-site deployments of wordpress.

   With very large scale MU deployments, it puts a huge burden on MySQL and DBAs to backup, replicate, and maintain your 10,000+ MySQL tables. Cassandra is relatively much easier to maintain and it has no single point of failure.

   Of course, such a backend change is definitely not for everyone. Certain types of queries that a traditional RDMS like MySQL provides will not be possible with Cassandra; thus, prevent the migration over to Cassandra all together.

   Patomel,

   This is listed purely as an "idea" and I don't think there is ANY timeframe for this. It would involve a *substantial* amount of changes to make WP work on a NOSQL database, so it's definitely NOT a trivial task.

   I'd personally love to see a Cassandra-based option, as it would allow me to handle scaling of my site better than using MySQL master-slave relationships... but to get such an option requires some good developers who effectively want to fork WordPress to create a NOSQL option. Sadly, I don't have the time to contribute... and I haven't yet seen others in the community who do. We'll see.

   The big problem i see is that to implement casandra, wordpress should work on a NOSQL database. I think that for now it will just remain as an idea
