Cassie: A Scala client for Cassandra

Thursday, 9 February 2012

I’m happy to announce today that we’re releasing our Cassandra client to the open source world: github.com/twitter/cassie.

Cassie is a Finagle and Scala-based client originally based on Coda Hale’s library.

While it is certainly stable— we use it in production to talk to a dozen clusters and over a thousand Cassandra machines— it is currently limited to the features we use in production and has a few rough edges.

Cassie has been a group effort. In addition to the original work of Coda, Stu Hood, Kyle Maxwell, Alan Liang, Johan Oskarsson and many others have contributed code, tests and bug reports.

Try it out, join the mailing list and let us know what you think.
