This document provides an overview of Cassandra, a NoSQL database. It discusses that NoSQL databases were developed as alternatives to relational databases to better handle large amounts of distributed data. Cassandra uses a column family data model where data is stored in tables analogous to maps of maps. The document also describes Cassandra's data distribution using a partitioning strategy and replication for high availability across nodes.

- 3. Why NoSQL? Increase in data led to use of cluster of small machines for handling it (Scale out), but RDBMS are not designed to run on clusters Big Table from Google and Dynamo from Amazon – were the alternatives for data storage in the early 2000s Common characteristics of NoSQL DBs are ◦ Not using relational model ◦ Running well on clusters ◦ Schemaless, Open-source and built for 21st century web estates July 3, 2014 3

- 5. Cassandra Data Model The table below shows analogy in terms of relational model Cassandra column family can be thought as map of map ◦ Map<RowKey, SortedMap<ColumnKey, ColumnValue>> July 3, 2014 5 Relational Model Cassandra Model Database Keyspace Table Column Family Primary Key Row Key
- 6. Cassandra Key Components Gossip ◦ Peer-to-peer communication protocol between nodes of cluster Partitioner ◦ Determines how to distribute data across nodes of cluster Replication Strategy ◦ For data replication Snitch ◦ For network topology Cassandra.yaml ◦ Timeout settings, tuning properties, etc July 3, 2014 6
- 7. Cassandra Storage The memtable data is flushed to SSTables on disk. Data in the commit log is purged after its corresponding data in the memtable is flushed to the SSTable. July 3, 2014 7
- 8. Cassandra Data Partitioning Lets say, we have following data Data is placed on each node based on Partition Key and the range the node is responsible for July 3, 2014 8 jim age: 36 car: camaro gender: M carol age: 37 car: bmw gender: F johnny age: 12 gender: M suzy age: 10 gender: F Node Start Range End Range Partition Key Hash Value A -9223372036854 -4611686018427 johnny -6723372854875 B -4611686018427 -1 jim -2245462676723 C 0 4611686018427 suzy 1168604627387 D 4611686018427 9223372036854 carol 7723358927203
