cassandra-sessions

This is a session backend for Django that stores sessions in Cassandra

The advantage to using this over other solutions is that your data is persistent unlike memcached, and Cassandra is designed to store key-value data like this, so performance is much closer to that of memcached than with a database.

Installing cassandra-sessions

  1. Either download the tarball and run 'python setup.py install', or simply use easy install or pip like so 'easy_install cassandra-sessions'.

  2. Set 'cassandra-sessions' as your session engine, like so:

    SESSION_ENGINE = 'cassandra-sessions'

  3. Add settings describing where to connect to Cassandra:

    CASSANDRA_POOL = ('127.0.0.1:9160',) CASSANDRA_SESSION_KEYSPACE = 'Testing'

  4. Create the Keyspace and Column Family in Cassandra:

    org.apache.cassandra.locator.RackUnawareStrategy 1 org.apache.cassandra.locator.EndPointSnitch

That's it. Hopefully this backend gives you all the better performance while still not sacrificing persistence.
