[Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH Core - Cassandra Database

[Juan Jose Comellas]

That's true, but what's unique about MongoDB, AFAIK, is that by default the
official client would inform the caller that the write had been successful
before the data had even reached the server. This has been changed
recently, though, but the default durability settings are still too weak.
