[sr-dev] NEW : DB_CASSANDRA module

Hi All, Henning, thank you for introducing me. As announced yesterday I have been working a Cassandra DB driver for Sip-Router and today I have committed the new module *db_cassandra* into the master branch. This module offers a DB interface and can be used by other modules to perform DB operations instead of db_mysql for example. Because Cassandra is a NoSQL storage system, it is not possible to run all kind of queries on it and this is the reason why the module has some limitations. It is especially suited for applications that store large data or that require data distribution, redundancy or replication. One usage example is a *distributed location system* in a platform that has a cluster of SIP Router servers, with more proxies and registration servers accesing the same location database. This was actually the main usage we had in mind when implementing the module. It has been tested with usrloc and auth_db modules, but it can also be used with other modules that have simmilar queries. You can read more about this in the README file http://sip-router.org/docbook/sip-router/branch/master/modules/db_cassandra…. Inside the module you can find a configuration file example that modifies the default configuration file to enable a location service with a Cassandra backend. If you have a Cassandra installation, it should be very easy to test it. We hope you find this module useful and are glad to receive any feedback, comments about it.
