About Brisk: Hadoop Powered by Cassandra

Brisk is an open-source Hadoop and Hive distribution developed by
DataStax that utilizes Apache Cassandra for its core services and
storage. Brisk provides Hadoop MapReduce capabilities using CassandraFS,
an HDFS-compatible storage layer inside Cassandra. By replacing HDFS
with CassandraFS, users are able to leverage their current MapReduce
jobs on Cassandra’s peer-to-peer, fault-tolerant, and scalable
architecture. Brisk is also able to support dual workloads, allowing you
to use the same cluster of machines for both real-time applications and
data analytics without having to move the data around between systems.
