Backoffice - Using different datasource to persist data in cassandra DB

Hi,

We are building a separate application for managing delivery slots which has intensive write operations. So instead of using oracle DB which we are using for application, we plan to use Cassandra that works best for intense write operations.

The front end will still be backoffice for configuring the delivery slots. However, the need is to store the data in cassandra instead of oracle. How can we plug in a different data source for specific objects in hybris.

Assume we have a grid like layout which allows configuring slots like:

Monday 6-8 9-11 12-4 Tuesday 7-9 10-12 -1-5 .... ....

Each slot will have a capacity too.

We won't create hybris item types but in back office want to show them as attributes and when user enters the values, on clicking save, we want to persist it in Cassandra.

Any thoughts on how we can use multiple data sources in back office?

Thanks.
