The Little Guy Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I have been looking at the Cassandra Database, and I am trying to figure out how it works, I still don't understand it. I assume that you wouldn't store your members in the database because you need to search it knowing exactly what key your looking for (but maybe I am wrong). What types of items/things would you store in a Cassandra database? How would a Cassandra database best be used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xyph Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 http://blip.tv/datastax/the-state-of-cassandra-5500735 might be helpful. To try and summarize, and please someone correct me if I'm wrong, database systems like Cassandra are simpler. They're built for speed, accuracy and scalability, while an RDBMS is designed to allow for very complex and flexible queries. Generally NoSQL database like Cassandra, discourage relation in favour of raw throughput. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
