I'm trying to plan a web application that should use a noSQL solution - Cassandra seems to be a good solution. I saw there are libraries for PHP to manipulate the database like phpCassa. Also I saw the new version of Cassandra 0.8 is introducing a query language CQL. Are there php interfaces that use the CQL? What is the benefit using the CQL? Is it just a more sql-like way to make queries?
Thank you!
