As I had written in title, I am trying to learn Spring 3.0 (I already know Django, Pylons and few simpler MVC frameworks) and try to use Cassandra as a backend for my web application.
Are there any real world examples of doing this? Or maybe some tutorials? I know about the existence of documentation of both technologies, yet I am looking for something “faster” to read and get me rolling.
I’m the author of Hector https://github.com/rantav/hector, the leading java client for cassandra so I would encourage you to have a look at what it has to offer.
While I personally have not been using hector with spring, we did get a few contributions which added spring support. See for example https://github.com/rantav/hector/blob/master/core/src/test/resources/cassandra-context-test-v2.xml and https://github.com/rantav/hector/blob/master/core/src/test/resources/cassandra-context-test-v2-new.xml
