Setting up the Cassandra cluster
Cassandra is a very scalable key-value store. It promises eventual consistency and its dis-
tributed ring-based architecture eliminates any single point of failure in the cluster, thus
making it highly available. It's designed and developed to support very fast reads and
writes over excessively large volumes of data .This fast write and read ability makes it a
very strong contender to be used in an
online transaction processing
(
OLTP
) application
to support large business intelligence systems.
Cassandra provides a column-family-based data model that is more flexible than typical
key-value systems.
