Slides: https://www.slideshare.net/DataStax/cassieq-the-distributed-message-queue-built-on-cassandra-anton-kropp-curalate-c-summit-2016 | Building queues on distributed data stores is hard, and long been considered an antipattern. However, with careful consideration and tactics, it is possible to do. CassieQ is an implementation of a distributed queue on Cassandra which supports easy installation, massive data ingest, authentication, a simple to use HTTP based API, and no dependencies other than your already existing Cassandra environment.
