This month we are continuing the "Cassandra vs" theme of last month by taking a look at HBase.

This month we are focusing on two things: Cassandra internals (some fundamental data structures and algorithms) and Cassandra Query Language (CQL, coming in version 0.8). Hopefully these topics will be of interest to seasoned Cassandra experts plus people with more of a general interest in distributed databases.

April's meetup will feature Sean Owen on Collaborative Filtering at scale, and Mark Levy on Algorithms on Hadoop at Last.fm

Beers, pizza, and graph database talk to celebrate the new Neo4j release. Afterwards, we'll head to the Slaughtered Lamb for some more NoSQL related chat.
