Third-Party Plugins

NOTE Support for the Cassandra Lucene Index Plug-in was retired by Instaclustr after the release of Cassandra 5.0 with Storage-attached Indexing (SAI). It remains support for Cassandra 4.x releases.

The Cassandra Lucene Index Plug-in was a Cassandra secondary index implementation based on Apache Lucene. It extended Cassandra’s functionality to provide near real-time distributed search engine capabilities such as with ElasticSearch or Apache Solr, including full text search capabilities, free multivariable, geospatial and bitemporal search, relevance queries and sorting based on column value, relevance or distance. Each node indexes its own data, so high availability and scalability is guaranteed.

The official Github repository Cassandra Lucene Index contains everything you need to build/run/configure the plugin.
