The document provides examples of consistency options in CQL and instructions for downloading Cassandra from DataStax.

- 4. The Cassandra Command Line Interface (CLI) Originalinterface designed to create objects (e.g. column families), input, and manipulate data
- 5. The Cassandra Query Language (CQL) Utility Utility used to create objects/manipulate data using a SQL-like language
- 6. The Cassandra Query Language Objects such as keyspaces, column families, and indexes are created, altered, and removed with RDBMS-like CREATE , ALTER, and DROP Data is inserted, changed, and removed with DML INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE commands Data is queried with the SELECT command CQL has some current limitations and does not support operations such as GROUP BY, ORDER BY, etc.
- 7. Specifying a Data Consistency Option in CQL Cassandra offers tunable data consistency Choose between strong and eventual consistency (All to any node responding) depending on the need Can be done on a per-operation basis, and for both reads and writes Handles Multi-data center operations Done with the USING CONSISTENCY clause Writes Reads Any One One Quorum Quorum Local_Quorum Local_Quorum Each_Quorum Each_Quorum All All
