I had spent some time not too long ago trying to get familiar enough with the APM code base so that I could propose and hopefully do a small PoC with a Cassandra backend. I did not make  much progress and got busy with other tasks, but I do think it is very doable. I would love to help out to the extent that I can. Please keep me in the loop as efforts on this start to progress.
