Deprecate Cassandra
Cassandra backend is by far the least popular and it is lagging behind. We looked at it and determined that it's not feasible to provide config backend implementation based on Cassandra.

Cassandra will remain available in 2.x, but will be marked as deprecated. We will keep the code around as long as there are customers who still use it.
To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
