Anyone tried Cassandra? I thought that was what Facebook was using for this type of thing?

Yes. Actually we [cassandra] are seeing a fair number of people switching to Cassandra from hbase because of speed and reliability (no single points of failure).

That's interesting -- we've seen a lot of the opposite, especially from the .20 release. I guess it all depends on what you need to do with it :)
