Call me crazy but I'm planning to Fork wordpress. I'm planning to swap out MySQL for Apache Cassandra. Call it ambitious but I'm planning to devote a chunk of time over the next few months.

In any case my question is: I'm trying to aim to keep plugins working... In essence any plugin that doesn't require their own table should be able to work. Thats the plan, can anyone suggest an approach to handling queries, effectively allowing me to parse queries from plugins.

Only plugins though, the plan is to have all wordpress core core queries removed for Cassandra api calls...

A: 

I'm curious, is this just an experiment?

For now yes :), if it proves to be practical I'll treat it more seriously. In reality I want it to work out but since I haven't delved into it yet i'm still unsure of the level of commitment it'll take, since it will just be me. Just researching now and trying to get ideas before trying to do any modifications
