My Notes:
- Cassandra differs
- No relational schema
- Create columns and column families
- Good for
- Large scale sites with lots of similar data
- If don’t have enough data for 8 node cluster (25 GB per cluster), not looking to grow to TB, probably better sticking with traditional database infrastructure
- Cloud Computing
- Why are open standards important? Enterprises are hesitant to repeat work – especially in a new environment.
