Follow-up: I see in the blog pointed to by Daniel mentioned an SE for Cassandra.... so I take it the answer is yes? Does anyone have experience with this / know if anything "extra" must be done to make that work?

Thanks for the references! That helps a lot

One other question I have is: can MariaDB work in a distributed fashion? To be more clear, the storage backend I'm developing is distributed, like Cassandra, and I would like to deploy many MariaDB instances that all access the same storage cluster. Can this be done?

I struggled to find good examples / blogs of creating a storage engine.
I used the MySQL references the most for developing a storage engine.

Here is a Python Engine I've worked on. It does support indexes and it
is read only right now, but hey it is progress. My hope and goal was to
make it so that I could prototype engines in Python before writing them
in C. I may have some time in the next month or two to take it further,
but that is still in the air.
