Are there any examples/tutorials of using Spring 3.0 with Cassandra as a backend?

cassandra, database, java, model-view-controller, spring-mvc

Solution

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

Problem

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.
