Brian O'Neill writes Brian ONeill's Random Thoughts, a personal blog at brianoneill.blogspot.com about programming and data. Since 2012, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 3 times. The last post was in 2018, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Brian O'Neill's posts on NoSQL databases: a benchmark of Cassandra, HBase, MongoDB and Riak, and a post on why MongoDB is a poor fit for scraped data and on Cassandra secondary indexes.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
Note that the HBase numbers are so good because the client wasn't actually hitting the database: http://brianoneill.blogspot.com/2012/10/solid-nosql-benchmar...

HN discussionJust refreshing my memory here, but this blog post [1] is what kept me away from secondary indexes and explains why I need something more from Cassandra.

Has the state of affairs advanced since a year ago? Would love to hear it has! [1] http://brianoneil…
