[Feature Request] Pluggable Database Backend

[aguerrieri]

It would be awesome to be able to use a different database backend instead of HBase (e.g. Cassandra). Is there any plans to implement such a thing, or at least any documentation on what would have to change to do so?

Hi aguerrieri,
No plans to support different backends just yet. Our backend code is more tightly coupled than we'd like. Once we do some abstraction/refactoring, coming up with a documentation and other backend support should be possible.

It'd require too much work to get started any time soon. Hope we'll get around to it some day.
