Research Cassandra and determine if right for us. #2

Cassandra provides data throughput we desire with availability we demand.

we definitely don't need it for scale

may be useful for low latency queries on large data sets. Will have to test with large data sets before decision.

NoSQL structure may make it difficult for us to represent all of our data. Potentially could use cassandra purely for bulk message storage but then scaling of our infrastructure is hard.

Still want to go ahead with the change, but need to make sure that functionality is not lost or at least replicated.
