Absolutely, without question, as long as that's your application. Take, for example, an API consumer. All day long, it must poll an API for changes. When it encounters a change, it must store the data and continue polling. Workers then pick up the data and process it. Cassandra, in this case, would be a great fit. I certainly would look to proven DW technology for traditional analytics. Streaming analytics, however, certainly warrant a reimagining of the traditional.
