Upload Sound Files to Cassandra Server?

Question

is it possible to upload sound files to the Cassandra server through Python, and then retrieve them again? If so, how would I go about doing it? I'm not to familiar with how Cassandra works, so any input would be greatly appreciated.

In addition, I am using pycassa as my python driver.

Thank you.

Yes, you can do this -- what you need is an hex representation of your song bytes. Take care on your blob size, from official documentation

"A single column value may not be larger than 2GB; in practice, "single digits of MB" is a more reasonable limit, since there is no streaming or random access of blob values. "
