Just to be clear here, 0MQ doesn't use anything for storage, it's a
transport layer. You'd write clients and workers and queues that used
0MQ to connect to each other, and then use Cassandra (or whatever
storage) in the appropriate places where you wanted to hold state.

So the question is really, "does Cassandra work well?"
