What is Cassandra?
Cassandra's data model combines the advantages of column-oriented indexing with the efficiency of log-structured storage. It provides robust support for denormalization and materialized views, enabling users to optimize data access and querying. The system also incorporates a powerful built-in caching mechanism to enhance performance
Highlights
