Cassandra Migration - DB Migration
About Cassandra
Cassandra stores data by dividing data evenly around its cluster of nodes. Each node is responsible for part of the data.
Apache Cassandra is a free and open-source, distributed, wide column store, NoSQL database management system designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers, providing high availability with no single point of failure.
- Highly consistent
- fault-tolerant
- scalable
Why Cassandra
highly scalable, high-performance distributed database
- Requirement for fast writes: Easily deals with data velocity, data variety and data complexity issues
- Can handle massive data sets
- Proven success across enterprise applications and in many use cases already
- Easy to integrate core applications
- Excellent Monitoring Options

Where is Cassandra Useful?
- Distributed: Runs on more than one server node.
- Scale linearly: By adding nodes, not more hardware on existing nodes.
- Work globally: A cluster may be geographically distributed.
- Favor writes over reads: Writes are an order of magnitude faster than reads.
- Democratic peer to peer architecture: No master/slave.
Key Features
- High available by design.
- Can be globally distributed.
- Allows applications to write to any node anywhere, anytime.
- Linearly scalable by simply adding more nodes to the cluster.
- Automatic workload and data balancing.
- A query language that looks a lot like SQL.
