Download - Cassandra Design Patterns by Sanjay Sharma - PDF

Big Data has already become a buzzword in today's IT world and provides lots of choices for end users. Cassandra is one of the most popular Big Data technologies today and is used as a NoSQL data store to build web-scale applications in the Big Data world.

The idea behind this book is for Cassandra users to learn about Cassandra's strengths and weaknesses and, more importantly, understand where and how to use Cassandra correctly, so as to use its strengths properly and overcome its weaknesses. One of the most critical decisions taken while writing the book was using the term design pattern to explain Cassandra's where and how usages. Traditionally, design patterns are linked to object-oriented design patterns made popular by Gang of Four (GoF).

However, in the context of this book, patterns refer to general, reusable solutions to commonly recurring software problems and will be used interchangeably for use case patterns, design patterns, execution patterns, implementation strategy patterns, and even applied design patterns.

Who this book is for
