Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Cassandra Wiki" for change notification.
The "FrontPage" page has been changed by FlipKromer. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FrontPage?action=diff&rev1=49&rev2=50 -------------------------------------------------- #language en #pragma section-numbers off = Cassandra Wiki = - Cassandra is a highly scalable, eventually consistent, distributed, structured key-value store. Cassandra brings together the distributed systems technologies from [[http://s3.amazonaws.com/AllThingsDistributed/sosp/amazon-dynamo-sosp2007.pdf|Dynamo]] and the data model from Google's [[http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable-osdi06.pdf|BigTable]]. Like Dynamo, Cassandra is [[http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2008/12/eventually_consistent.html|eventually consistent]]. Like !BigTable, Cassandra provides a !ColumnFamily-based data model richer than typical key/value systems. Cassandra was open sourced by Facebook in 2008, where it was designed by Avinash Lakshman (one of the authors of Amazon's Dynamo) and Prashant Malik ( Facebook Engineer ). In a lot of ways you can think of Cassandra as Dynamo 2.0 or a marriage of Dynamo and !BigTable. Cassandra is in production use at Facebook but is still under heavy development. == General Information == - * [[http://cassandra.apache.org/|Official Cassandra Website]] (download, bug-tracking, mailing-lists, etc) * [[ArticlesAndPresentations|Articles and Presentations]] about Cassandra. * [[DataModel|A description of the Cassandra data model]] * [[CassandraLimitations|Cassandra Limitations]]: where Cassandra is not a good fit == User Documentation == - * [[GettingStarted|Getting Started]] * [[ClientOptions|Client options: ways to access Cassandra]] -- interfaces for Ruby, Python, Scala and more * [[RunningCassandra|Running Cassandra]] * [[ArchitectureOverview|Architecture Overview]] * [[API|Thrift API Documentation]] (In progress) * [[UseCases|Simple Use Cases and Solutions]] -- please help complete - * [[FAQ|FAQ]] + * [[FAQ]] == Advanced Setup and Tuning == - * [[StorageConfiguration|Storage Configuration]] * [[MultinodeCluster|Creating a multi-node cluster]] * [[Operations]] * [[Embedding]] - * [[MemtableThresholds|Memtable Thresholds]] + * [[MemtableThresholds|Memtable Thresholds]] and other [[PerformanceTuning|Performance Tuning]] * [[CassandraHardware|Cassandra Hardware]] - * [[CloudConfig|Configuration on Rackspace or Amazon Web Services]] -- please help complete + * [[CloudConfig|Configuration on Rackspace or Amazon Web Services]] == Developer Documentation == - - * [[ArchitectureInternals]] + * ArchitectureInternals * [[CLI Design]] * [[HowToContribute|How To Contribute?]] * [[HowToCommit|How To Commit?]] @@ -52, +47 @@ * Commits: commits@cassandra.apache.org [[mailto:commits-subscr...@cassandra.apache.org|(subscribe)]] == Related Information == - * [[http://incubator.apache.org/thrift|Thrift]], used by Cassandra for client access - * [[RelatedProjects]]: Projects using or extending Cassandra + * RelatedProjects: Projects using or extending Cassandra == Google SoC 2010 Page == * [[GoogleSoc2010|Google SoC]] + This wiki is powered by MoinMoin.
