Apache Cassandra is a free and open-source database management system designed to handle large volumes of data across multiple commodity servers.The system prioritizes availability and scalability over consistency, making it particularly suited for systems with high write throughput requirements due to its LSM tree indexing storage layer.

Its product Astra DB is a cloud database-as-a-service based on Apache Cassandra. DataStax also offers DataStax Enterprise (DSE), an on-premises database built on Apache Cassandra, and Astra Streaming, a messaging and event streaming cloud service based on Apache Pulsar. As of June 2022, the company has roughly 800 customers distributed in over ...
It supports the same protocols as Cassandra and the same file formats (SSTable), but is a completely rewritten implementation, using the C++20 language replacing Cassandra's Java, and the Seastar [1] asynchronous programming library replacing classic Linux programming techniques such as threads, shared memory and mapped files.
Learn why they chose DataStax Astra DB powered by Apache Cassandra. Watch Fleming Shi, CTO of Barracuda, and Aaron Morton, Field CTO at DataStax, in a fireside chat where they discuss how ever ...
In order not to fill the data store with useless information, there is a policy to remove tombstones completely. For this, the system checks the age of the tombstone and removes it after a prescribed time has elapsed. In Apache Cassandra, this elapsed time is set with the GCGraceSeconds parameter [1] and the process is named Compaction. [2]
A wide-column store (or extensible record store) is a type of NoSQL database. [1] It uses tables, rows, and columns, but unlike a relational database, the names and format of the columns can vary from row to row in the same table.
Cassandra on RocksDB can improve the performance of Apache Cassandra significantly (3–4 times faster in general, 100 times faster in some use-cases). [citation needed] The Instagram team at Facebook developed and open-sourced their code, along with benchmarks of their performance results.
The keyspace has similar importance like a schema has in a database. In contrast to the schema, however, it does not stipulate any concrete structure, like it is known in the entity-relationship model used widely in the relational data models. For instance, the contents of the keyspace can be column families, each having different number of ...
