Online tutorials specific for building graph databases using Cassandra and Titan and Solr for search

Question

Does anybody know any good tutorials for learning how to use Cassandra along with Titan for storing graph databases and Solr as a search mechanism?

I am new in this area, so I actually don't know why people use both Cassandra and Titan together in their projects?

If anyone know any good documentation for implementing a sample project in the mentioned setting, I will be appreciated to let me know about that.

Thanks,

Answer 1

This titan documentation is good to start with: http://s3.thinkaurelius.com/docs/titan/1.0.0/index.html

and also this quick guide about cassandra: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/cassandra/cassandra_quick_guide.htm

Answer 2

Here is a short tutorial I wrote on how to setup titandb with cassandra and solr.

To answer your other question: You can configure titan to use different backends as a storage (cassandra, BerkeleyDB, HBase). To include search functionality like fulltext search or geospatial search, you'd have to configure titan to use a search backend (elastic, solr or directly lucene).
