The announcement is a little misleading — they're announcing two different things, not one:<p>* Scylla 3.0, which adds secondary indexes and materialized views; and<p>* OLTP and OLAP features, which are not ready.<p>I'm struggling to find any clear information on what's implied by OLTP, but from the roadmap [1], it looks like they're just adding Cassandra's LWTs, <i>not</i> ACID transactions. Last I heard, you couldn't build ACID on top of Cassandra/Scylla, since row updates across multiple keys cannot be done atomically. Calling this OLTP seems a little misleading.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.scylladb.com/product/technology/scylla-roadmap/" rel="nofollow">https://www.scylladb.com/product/technology/scylla-roadmap/</a>
I wad looking into Scylla yesterday so this is really cool timing! Does anyone have any experience with just switching out (Apache) Cassandra with Scylla?
