      What is Apache Cassandra?

      Apache Cassandra is highly scalable, distributed and high-performance NoSQL database. Cassandra is designed to handle a huge amount of data.

      In the image above, circles are Cassandra nodes and lines between the circles shows distributed architecture, while the client is sending data to the node.

      Cassandra handles the huge amount of data with its distributed architecture. Data is placed on different machines with more than one replication factor that provides high availability and no single point of failure.

      Cassandra History

      Cassandra was first developed at Facebook for inbox search.

      Facebook open sourced it in July 2008.

      Apache incubator accepted Cassandra in March 2009.

      Cassandra is a top level project of Apache since February 2010.

      The latest version of Apache Cassandra is 3.2.1.

      First let's understand what NoSQL database is.

      Nosql Cassandra Database

      NoSQL databases are called Not Only SQL or Non-relational databases. NoSQL databases store and retrieve data other than tabular relations such as relation databases.

      NoSQL databases include MongoDB, HBase, and Cassandra.

      There are following properties of NoSQL databases.

      Design Simplicity

      Horizontal Scaling

      High Availability

      Data structures used in Cassandra are more specified than data structures used in relational databases. Cassandra data structures are faster than relational
