Description
Create your own massively scalable Cassandra database with highly responsive database queries
Key Features
Create a Cassandra cluster and tweak its configuration to get the best performance based on your environment
Analyze the key concepts and architecture of Cassandra, which are essential to create highly responsive Cassandra databases
A fast-paced and step-by-step guide on handling huge amount of data and getting the best out of your database applications
Book DescriptionApache Cassandra Essentials takes you step-by-step from from the basics of installation to advanced installation options and database design techniques. It gives you all the information you need to effectively design a well distributed and high performance database. You'll get to know about the steps that are performed by a Cassandra node when you execute a read/write query, which is essential to properly maintain of a Cassandra cluster and to debug any issues. Next, you'll discover how to integrate a Cassandra driver in your applications and perform read/write operations. Finally, you'll learn about the various tools provided by Cassandra for serviceability aspects such as logging, metrics, backup, and recovery. What you will learn
Install and set up your Cassandra Cluster using various installation types
Use Cassandra Query Language (CQL) to design Cassandra database and tables with various configuration options
Design your Cassandra database to be evenly loaded with the lowest read/write latencies
Employ the available Cassandra tools to monitor and maintain a Cassandra cluster
Debug CQL queries to discover why they are performing relatively slowly
Choose the best-suited compaction strategy for your database based on your usage pattern
Tune Cassandra based on your deployment operation system environment
Who this book is forIf you are a developer who is working with Cassandra and you want to deep dive into the core concepts and understand Cassandra's non-relational nature, then this book is for you. A basic understanding of Cassandra is expected.
