Cassandra – The Definitive Guide 2e Paperback – 8 July 2016

by Jeff Carpenter (Author), Eben Hewitt (Author)
4.5 out of 5 stars (97)

Imagine what you could do if scalability wasn't a problem. With this hands-on guide, you’ll learn how the Cassandra database management system handles hundreds of terabytes of data while remaining highly available across multiple data centers. This expanded second edition—updated for Cassandra 3.0—provides the technical details and practical examples you need to put this database to work in a production environment.

Authors Jeff Carpenter and Eben Hewitt demonstrate the advantages of Cassandra’s non-relational design, with special attention to data modeling. If you’re a developer, DBA, or application architect looking to solve a database scaling issue or future-proof your application, this guide helps you harness Cassandra’s speed and flexibility.

  • Understand Cassandra’s distributed and decentralized structure
  • Use the Cassandra Query Language (CQL) and cqlsh—the CQL shell
  • Create a working data model and compare it with an equivalent relational model
  • Develop sample applications using client drivers for languages including Java, Python, and Node.js
  • Explore cluster topology and learn how nodes exchange data
  • Maintain a high level of performance in your cluster
  • Deploy Cassandra on site, in the Cloud, or with Docker
  • Integrate Cassandra with Spark, Hadoop, Elasticsearch, Solr, and Lucene

    Achei o livro excelente. Apenas uma ressalva por não explorar tanto a modelagem de tabelas. É uma ótima base pra quem quer uma visão geral do produto

    With no previous knowlwdge on Cassandra I picked up this book and read cover to cover. I'm quite satisfied with the depth each architectural concept, data modeling, configuration, performance tuning, maintenance and every other aspect of managing a Cassandra DB is explained.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book!
    Reviewed in the United States on 1 July 2017
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Awesome book, it'll give you an overview of Cassandra, what it is and how it works internally. That's required as it's quite different from the rest of the DBs. Cover both introductory and more advanced topics!
