BOOK



Apache Cassandra is a massively scalable, peer-to-peer database

designed for 100 percent uptime, with deployments in the tens of

thousands of nodes supporting petabytes of data. This book offers

readers a practical insight into building highly available

real-world applications using Apache Cassandra



The book starts with the fundamentals, helping you to understand

how the architecture of Apache Cassandra allows it to achieve 100

percent uptime when other systems struggle to do so. You'll have

an excellent understanding of data distribution, replication, and

Cassandra's highly tunable consistency model. This is followed by

an in-depth look at Cassandra's robust support for multiple data

centers, and how to scale out a cluster. Next, the book explores

the domain of application design, with chapters discussing the

native driver and data modeling. Lastly, you'll find out how to

steer clear of common antipatterns and take advantage of

Cassandra's ability to fail gracefully



What you will learn:

* Understand how the core architecture of Cassandra enables

highly available applications* Use replication and tunable

consistency levels to balance consistency, availability, and

performance* Set up multiple data centers to enable failover

load balancing, and geographic distribution* Add capacity to your

cluster with zero down time* Take advantage of high availability

features in the native driver* Create data models that scale well

and maximize availability* Understand common anti-patterns so you

can avoid them* Keep your system working well even during failure

scenarios
