DataStax Enterprise 3.1 Released

July 31, 2013

Open source enterprise software continues to gain steam and make headlines. The latest involves Datastax, the commercial side of the Apache Cassandra content management project. Read more about the DataStax Enterprise 3.1 release in the ZDNet article, “DataStax Enterprise 3.1: NoSQL; Yes, CQL.”

The article begins:

“DataStax, the major commercial entity behind the Apache Cassandra wide column store NoSQL database, is today announcing version 3.1 of its DataStax Enterprise distribution. This release brings the Cassandra Query Language (“CQL”) — the SQL-like query language for Cassandra — to DataStax Enterprise. DataStax will also supply Java and .NET drivers for the CQL interface. Other features include support for a 10-fold increase in data per node, and integration with Apache Solr 4.3, bringing 60 new search-related features. Support for virtual nodes (“vnodes”) and new tracing features have been added as well.”

The article mentions the integration with Apache Solr 4.3, which is easily the most powerful and effective open source search appliance available. LucidWorks builds its open source enterprise solutions on the power of Apache Lucene Solr, and many organizations look to LucidWorks for flexible and affordable search capability.
