Book Description

With ever increasing rates of data creation, the demand to store data as fast and reliably becomes a need. Apache Cassandra is the perfect choice for building fault-tolerant and scalable databases.Through this practical guide, you will program and understand completely the power of Cassandra as per the new features released by Cassandra 3.x.

Starting with a brief recap of the basics to get everyone up and running, you will move on to deploy and monitor a production setup, dive under the hood, and optimize and integrate it with other software. You will work with the advance features of materialized views and the new storage engine to learn how they can handle automated server-side denormalization and the other tasks with the practical approach mentioned in the book.You will explore the integration and interaction of Cassandra components, and explore features such as token allocation algorithm, CQL3, vnodes, lightweight transactions, and triggers in detail which was missed in the previous edition of the book.

Finally, you will also explore to get up and running with Spark and Hadoop, you will be able to analyze your big data and build, manage high-performance database for your application.
