Overview of Cassandra Connector

Apache Cassandra™, an Apache Software Foundation project, is a massively scalable NoSQL database. Cassandra is designed to handle big data workloads across multiple data centers with no single point of failure, providing enterprises with extremely high database performance and availability.

Cassandra does not use master/slave architecture, but instead uses a peer-to-peer implementation, which avoids the pitfalls, latency problems, single point of failure issues, and performance headaches associated with master/slave setups.

Cassandra’s architecture makes it perfect for full cloud deployments as well as hybrid implementations that store some data in the cloud and other data on-premises.

A NoSQL database (sometimes called as Not Only SQL) is a database that provides a mechanism to store and retrieve data other than the tabular relations used in relational databases. These databases are schema-free, support easy replication, have simple API, eventually consistent, and can handle huge amounts of data.

You can perform the following activities using Cassandra connector:
  • Insert Rows
  • Update Rows
  • Delete Rows
  • Execute Query

The Cassandra version currently supported by this connector is 2.0.14.
