Up until that announcement, InfluxDB was planning on supporting all their clustering and HA capabilities in the open-source version, which is one of the reasons we had added it to Monasca.

There are several reviews to look at if you are interested at, https://review.openstack.org/#/q/monasca+cassandra. Shinya Kawabata has been looking into Cassandra most recently.

If you already have Hadoop, HDFS and Hbase deployed then OpenTSDB is an incremental addition, but if you don't, it is a significant investment. At the time that I had evaluated OpenTSDB performance was not on-par with the other alternatives I considered.
