The conclusion isn't entirely surprising, "we from X say that engine X is better than engine Y" but there are many companies that have monitoring stacks built on top of Cassandra, like SignalFX. They have a presentation or two on the topic too that might be interesting: http://www.slideshare.net/planetcassandra/signalfx-making-ca...

Ultimately this benchmark will be heavily influenced by the code written to "emulate" the InfluxDB parts on top of Cassandra and how much of that code puts Cassandra at a disadvantage. I'd like to hear from some people that have built such solutions on top of Cassandra what they think about the benchmark and see how that benchmark would evolve.
