Summary
There are many facets to understanding how Cassandra processes data and man-
ages its peers. Many of these complexities are intentionally abstracted from the
user to ensure things work out of the box. There are many knobs that can be tuned
to adjust for a particular use case, such as choosing a compaction type or set-
ting the
bloom_filter_fp_chance
value for a ColumnFamily. Understand-
ing how Cassandra works under the covers not only can help you troubleshoot
problems but can also help you make decisions for your data, schema, and usage
patterns for creating and scaling your system.
