title: rails 4 app with 2 databases: MySQL and Cassandra - where to begin?
body: <p>Hi have an existing rails 4 app which is using a MySQL database. </p>
  
  <p>I now need to add code that creates dynamically a new table for every object and its attributes. </p>
  
  <p>I decided to use a No SQL solution for this. Initially I wanted to use Mongo DB since I was familair with this. However, my company supports only Cassandra/redis/solr. So I have to pick one of these.</p>
  
  <p>I chose Cassandra but Im not finding any tutorials or examples on how to use it with an existing rails app with a MySQL DB.</p>
  
  <p>I found <a href="https://github.com/cequel/cequel" rel="nofollow">this</a> ORM for rails-Cassandra but no idea how to make it work with an existing Active record - mysql system.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas would be very appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Apologize this post has no code. But I couldnt find any answers for this issue on SO so please excuse if any mistakes.</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
