Chapter 7. Cassandra Partitioning, High
Availability, and Consistency
In this chapter, you will understand the internals of Cassandra to learn how data partition-
ing is implemented and you'll learn about the hashing technique employed on Cassandra's
keyset distribution. We will also get an insight into replication and how it works, and the
feature of hinted handoff. We will cover the following topics:
• Data partitioning and consistent hashing; we'll look at practical examples
• Replication, consistency, and high availability
