Can sphinx be used over cassandra?

Question

I am planning to build a cassandra store system and also I need a full-text(Chinese) system too. Can sphinx be used on cassandra? (sphinx supports xml format but I am not going to use it, cause it is slow and much of time are spent on xml parsing). Or you can share your experiences if you have ever built a full-text searching system over cassandra. Thank you

Answer 1

I would recommend to take a look at Lucandra (Lucandra = Lucene + Cassandra )

Answer 2

There's no other way to build sphinx index except of using xml pipe as of now
