Expert Apache Cassandra Administration
Follow this handbook to build, configure, tune, and secure Apache Cassandra databases. Start with the installation of Cassandra and move on to the creation of a single instance, and then a cluster of Cassandra databases.
Cassandra is increasingly a key player in many big data environments, and this book shows you how to use Cassandra with Apache Spark, a popular big data processing framework. Also covered are day-to-day topics of importance such as the backup and recovery of Cassandra databases, using the right compression and compaction strategies, and loading and unloading data.
Expert Apache Cassandra Administration provides numerous step-by-step examples starting with the basics of a Cassandra database, and going all the way through backup and recovery, performance optimization, and monitoring and securing the data. The book serves as an authoritative and comprehensive guide to the building and management of simple to complex Cassandra databases. The What You'll Learn
Who This Book Is For
Database administrators, developers, and architects who are looking for an authoritative and comprehensive single volume for all their Cassandra administration needs. Also for administrators who are tasked with setting up and maintaining highly reliable and high-performing Cassandra databases. An excellent choice for big data administrators, database administrators, architects, and developers who use Cassandra as their key data store, to support high volume online transactions, or as a decentralized, elastic data store.

- Not very well structured
- A LOT of typos - I didn't expect that APress became so bad in releasing books
- lacking consistent example that will show how to develop & admin applications built on top of Cassandra - examples are simply taken from CQL documentation on docs.datastax.com
- Similarly for other pieces, for example, basic syntax for SELECT statement includes solr_query part that is specific for DataStax Enterprise version, not for Apache Cassandra
- ...
My advice - just read official documentation
