Good book, worth getting. Cassandra is a moving target so some detailed info is already out of date, eg references to Avro and the code samples, but the overall gist of things is fine. I hope O'Reilly will do a 2nd ed for 0.8 this year. A High Performance Cassandra a la Zawodny's MySQL book would be a no brainer. Almost all the problems I see on user@ are operational/perf/tuning related. Bill
