ok,in what areas is Cassandra better than Kafka ? i am reading this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35711129/how-to-stream-d...

According to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8844: CDC seems a lot less capable than Kafka:

> Cassandra would only write to the CDC log, and never delete from it. > Cleaning up consumed logfiles would be the client daemon's responibility

on the other hand there is the Cassandra CDC Kafka Connector, that seems to do some work...

in the i still don't see why i would want to use Cassandra over Kafka for storing data, when i care about durability and streaming of append only data.
