Can I use Cassandra to store objects?

Question

My application works like this.

Database (Mysql) where there is a command. A command is an object (consists of fields containing many fields, such as ints ans string). There is a web service that interacts with the database and receives a command from db and performs some operation.

The way to store a command in db is to remove all fields and insert them into db.

Is it possible to use cassandra instead of mysql and save the command object?

Why do you want to move away from your current solution, which is related to a relational database? I would not (believe it or not) recommend changing your data warehouse first.

, Apache Cassandra.

Cassandra, , :

Commands = { // this is a ColumnFamily (CF)
     commandObject1: { // this is the key to this Row inside the CF
          // now we have an infinite # of columns in this row
          field1: "value1",  
          field2: "value2",
          field3: "value3"
     }, // end row
     commandObject2: {   // this is the key to another row in the CF
          // now we have another infinite # of columns in this row
          field1: "value1",
          field2: "value2",
          field3: "value3"
          field4: "value4",
          field5: "value5"
  },
}
