Cassandra database, which python interface?

Question

Hi, I'm going to write the web portal using Cassandra databases. Can you advise me which python interface to use? thrift, lazygal or pycassa? Are there any benefits to use more complicated thrift then cleaner pycassa? What about performace - is the same (all of them are just the layer)?

Thanks for any advice.

Answer 1

Use pycassa if you don't know what to use.

Use lazyboy if you want it to maintain indexes for you. It's significantly more complex.
