Hasn't that work already been done? Cyanite and KairosDB both plug in to the broader Graphite ecosystem (more or less) and use Cassandra as a data store.

Time series data has also been a particular focus in the Cassandra community. DTCS was too complicated, so they came up with the easier and faster TWCS. I don't think this is on you, but I'd love to see a comparison with the latest stable 3.x and a multiple node cluster.

We'll be doing comparisons against Kairos and OpenTSDB in the coming months. We just get asked about Cassandra specifically quite a bit.

If you're testing those, it would be nice if you could test and make a comparison with the cassandra-based Blueflood as well.

If you want to test Cassandra, please test at least 9 nodes and have someone with Cassandra setup experience configure your cluster.
