FAQs

1. Can I use Achilles and Hibernate (or any JPA provider) at the same time ?

   Yes, but you need to remove all @Entity annotation on Achilles entities and use the @Table annotation instead. Indeed all Achilles entities having the @Entity annotation will be parsed by Hibernate and it will complain since the WideMap type is unknown and furthermore it cannot find any SQL table that map to your entities.

   Alternatively if you're using Spring, you can give a list of explicit entities to be scanned by Hibernate so in this case no issue

   If you're using Hibernate HBM files for mapping instead of annotations, it's also fine

2. Will Achilles support CQL3 ?

   Done

3. Will there be any support for secondary index ?

   Yes in a near future

4. Any support for property indexing & text search ?

   Technically possible by putting Lucence in the loop but lots of work to do. You're welcomed to help.

   For those who have some money, Datastax offers a custom version of Apache Solr with Cassandra under the hood, which boost the performance. Check it out, it's quite nice
