Apache Cassandra is an open source, distributed, non-relational database. It was originally developed by Avinash Lakshman and Prashant Malik for Facebook[1]. In 2008, Facebook released the source code for the project, which is now made available by the Apache Foundation under the Apache License[2]. As of June 2010, Cassandra is still in production use at Facebook and powers the inbox search features on the facebook website[1].
