Is it possible to use ScyllaDB as backend database for Loki storage system. As per the Loki documentation it supports Apache Cassandra. But there is nothing about ScyllaDB. Does anyone know about the ScyllaDB support in Loki.

If Cassandra is supported as a backend, ScyllaDB should also work. That said, the only way to know for sure is to try.

@Lahiru please update if you got it to work or if you ran into any issues.  
I know there were more people in the community that were also interested in using Loki with ScyllaDB as the backend, [see here](https://github.com/grafana/loki/issues/1258) for example.
