We use Cassandra at work and one of my chat bots is missing half it's features cause I have no clue how to do then in NOSql, but would of taken 5 minutes in SQL. My boss insists there is a solution but hasn't found one yet. Using only NOSql for everything has been a struggle for me at least.

Cassandra is great for certain tasks, like pushing tons of data into it very fast, performing bulk processing etc. It is used as low-level storage in some other special databases (e.g. time-series databases)...

Regretfully, exactly as you said, some operations are painful or impossible with it...

Exactly, I can not stress enough how hard it is to use Cassandra, and by extension probably any non-relational, database for data that is very relational...
