What you should know
- [Instructor] For this course, I assume you have some familiarity with basic database concepts like tables and columns. We'll cover specific details of how Cassandra uses these concepts. At some points, I will make comparisons with relational databases. Knowledge of relational data modeling can help at these points but it's not necessary. During the exercises, I will use a command line tool called cqlsh to work with Cassandra. If you plan to do the exercises, it helps to have some experience working with the command line tools. For the exercises, I've installed Cassandra from the Apache Project Foundation website and Java Runtime Environment on Linux which is running on a virtual box on my Mac. Now, if you're not familiar with installing Linux and virtual box, I suggest you view the course, Linux Overview and Installation.
