Olden but golden? In fact it looks like 0.6 realease is really far along. It's read performance got so good that a bunch of sites are ditching memcached(db) in favor of it.

Speaking of Cassandra, can anyone confirm that facebook is actually moving from Cassandra to hbase?

Facebook is tight-lipped about such matters. I do not think you're going to get confirmation here, (not one that I would trust).

Facebook is using both.

Memcached is a completely different product, why would you stop using that just because you start using Cassandra?

Memcaheddb on the other hand is, IMHO, a misguided project. People ditching that is a very good thing. :-)

The argument is that memcached is unnecessary because of the speed of Cassandra, and the fact that .6 includes it's own, built in, row level cache.

What I've heard is that facebook is using Cassandra exclusively for inboxes (and that they're using hbase for a bunch of other stuff).
