First, it's really a key/ColumnFamily model, which gives you a richer data model and more efficient updates and queries. Second, it supports range queries over your keys, which is essential for many applications I wrote about the limitations of a strict key/value api here: http://spyced.blogspot.com/2009/05/why-you-wont-be-building-your-killer.html One of the things that makes Cassandra interesting is that it provides more than a generic key/value store.
