Cassandra is a distributed NoSQL database system. It offers high scalability, availability, and fault-tolerance. It uses a decentralized architecture, where data is distributed across multiple nodes, and provides several operations to manipulate data. In this article, we will discuss operations on tables in Cassandra. Creating Tables The first operation in Cassandra is to create a table. A table is defined by set of columns. Each column has name, data type, and an optional value. To create a table, you need to specify the keyspace. It is namespace that defines the replication strategy, and the table name. You also need to ... Read More

Cassandra is a distributed NoSQL database that can handle a large amount of data. In Cassandra, data is organized and stored in keyspaces, which are the top-level containers that group tables together. Keyspace modification is a critical task in Cassandra that allows you to create, modify, and drop keyspaces to manage your data more efficiently. In this article, we will discuss the different ways to modify a keyspace in Cassandra with examples. Introduction In Cassandra, a keyspace is a namespace that defines the scope of data replication. It contains one or more tables. Each table has its own column family. ... Read More

Cassandra is developed by the Apache Software Foundation. It is a NoSQL database management system. Cassandra utilizes a wide column store to efficiently handle large volumes of data across multiple commodity servers. It is an open-source platform. It offers high availability without a single point of failure. Cassandra is written in Java. The distributed architecture of Apache Cassandra allows for scalability, fault tolerance, and high availability. Nodes are an essential concept in Apache Cassandra's distributed architecture. In this article, we will discuss an overview of nodes in Apache Cassandra, their types, operations, and adding/removing nodes in Apache Cassandra. Node in ... Read More

User Defined Types (UDTs) in Cassandra allows users to create custom data types. With UDTs, you can manage and organize data when multiple data fields are grouped together in a single column. In this article, we will discuss how to modify UDTs in Cassandra with the help of CQL examples. User Defined Data (UDT) It has the ability to attach multiple data fields in a single column. UDTs play an important role in that they can group together related fields of data (such as field 1, field 2, etc.) and allow names and types. UDT helps to add flexibility to ... Read More

One uses the Cassandra Query Language (CQL) when communicating with the Apache Cassandra NoSQL database. Database roles may be defined and rights can be assigned to them using CQL, one of its characteristics. User access and permissions are managed within a database using Cassandra's roles. This article will discuss roles in Cassandra, how they work, and give examples of creating, changing, and removing roles using CQL. What do Cassandra's roles entail? A role in Cassandra is a type of object that specifies a set of rights that may be bestowed upon an individual user or group of users. Access to ... Read More

A distributed, highly scalable NoSQL database with high availability and fault tolerance for massive volumes of data is called Apache Cassandra. Support for a unique data type called Counter Type is one of Cassandra's distinguishing characteristics. In this post, we will examine Counter Type in Cassandra, discuss its advantages, and offer usage examples. What does Cassandra's Counter Type mean? For the purpose of storing counter values, Cassandra has a specific data type called Counter Type. In order to keep track of activities like likes, upvotes, downvotes, and page visits, counters are utilized. A counter value in Cassandra may only be ... Read More

Developed to manage massive volumes of data across commodity servers, Apache Cassandra is a distributed, highly scalable NoSQL database management system. Cassandra's configurable consistency is one of its core characteristics, allowing users to combine data consistency with speed and availability. In this post, we will go through the various consistency levels in Cassandra and present examples of how to use them. A consistency level in Cassandra is the number of replicas that react before providing a response to a user. Cassandra's consistency is configurable, which means that any client may decide how much consistency and availability they want. It is ... Read More

Introduction Apache Cassandra is a highly-scalable, high-performance distributed database that is designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers. As a result, it's important to keep an eye on the health of your Cassandra cluster to ensure that it's running smoothly and that there aren't any issues that could impact performance or availability. In this article, we'll go over the different ways to check the health of your Cassandra cluster and what to look for to identify potential issues. Understanding Cassandra Cluster Health Before diving into how to check the health of your Cassandra cluster, it's important ... Read More

Changing the Replication Factor in Cassandra

Raunak Jain
Updated on 16-Jan-2023 16:24:29
Apache Cassandra is a highly scalable, distributed, and fault-tolerant NoSQL database that is widely used for managing large amounts of structured data across multiple commodity servers. One of the key features of Cassandra is its ability to replicate data across multiple nodes in a cluster, providing fault tolerance and high availability. In this article, we will discuss how to change the replication factor of a Cassandra cluster, and the considerations to keep in mind when doing so. Introduction to Replication Factor The replication factor in Cassandra refers to the number of copies of each piece of data that are stored ... Read More

CAST function in Cassandra

Raunak Jain
Updated on 12-Jan-2023 12:56:55
Introduction to the CAST Function in Cassandra Cassandra is a highly scalable and distributed NoSQL database that is well-suited for storing and managing large amounts of data. One of the key features of Cassandra is its powerful query language, CQL (Cassandra Query Language), which allows you to easily retrieve and manipulate data stored in Cassandra. One useful function in CQL is the CAST function, which allows you to change the data type of a column or expression. This function is particularly useful when you need to perform calculations or comparisons on data that have different data types. In this article, ... Read More
