Chapter 8. Cassandra Management and
Maintenance
In this chapter, we will learn about the gossip protocol of Cassandra. Thereafter, we will
delve into Cassandra administration and management in terms of understanding scaling and
reliability in action. This will equip you with the ability to handle situations that you would
not like to come across but do happen in production, such as handling recoverable nodes,
rolling restarts, and so on.
The topics that will be covered in the chapter are as follows:
• Cassandra—gossip protocol
• Cassandra scaling—adding a new node to a cluster
• Replacing a node
• Replication factor changes
• Node tool commands
• Rolling restarts and fault tolerance
• Cassandra monitoring tools
So, this chapter will help you understand the basics of Cassandra, as well as the various op-
tions required for the maintenance and management of Cassandra activities.
