The "ArchitectureInternals" page has been changed by JonathanEllis. The comment on this change is: link jdarcy's Availability and Partition Tolerance. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ArchitectureInternals?action=diff&rev1=15&rev2=16 -------------------------------------------------- = Further reading = * The idea of dividing work into "stages" with separate thread pools comes from the famous SEDA paper: http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~mdw/papers/seda-sosp01.pdf * Crash-only design is another broadly applied principle. [[http://lwn.net/Articles/191059/|Valerie Henson's LWN article]] is a good introduction - * Cassandra's distribution is closely related to the one presented in Amazon's Dynamo paper. Read repair, adjustable consistency levels, hinted handoff, and other concepts are discussed there. This is required background material: http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2007/10/amazons_dynamo.html. The related article on [[http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2008/12/eventually_consistent.html|article on eventual consistency]] is also relevant. + * Cassandra's distribution is closely related to the one presented in Amazon's Dynamo paper.

Jeff Darcy's article on [[http://pl.atyp.us/wordpress/?p=2521|Availability and Partition Tolerance]] explains the underlying principle of CAP better than most. * Cassandra's on-disk storage model is loosely based on sections 5.3 and 5.4 of [[http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable.html|the Bigtable paper]]. * Facebook's Cassandra team authored a paper on Cassandra for LADIS 09: http://www.cs.cornell.edu/projects/ladis2009/papers/lakshman-ladis2009.pdf. Most of the information there is applicable to Apache Cassandra (the main exception is the integration of !ZooKeeper).
