This Team Used Apache Cassandra Without Reading The Fine Manual… You Won’t Believe What Happened Next
“You honestly expected that adopting a data store at your scale would not require you to learn all of its internals?”
These aren't even internals, these are basic facts about Cassandra.
- dvirsky 11y agoI do believe Cassandra requires a much more intimate knowledge of its internals if you want to do anything serious with it - more so than any other database I've worked with.
- threeseed 11y agoI have to agree. But with the clarification that it isn't significantly more. Spend a few days and you will be an expert. And I think it's worth noting that the "serious" things you would do on Cassandra more often than not you couldn't do on most other databases.
- robusto 11y agoI agree as well. However, it seems a common mistake to assume you can just "deploy", especially coming from traditional RDBMS. Great power, great responsibility.
- cwyers 11y agoSome of what the article suggests (their own serialization format, using COMPACT STORAGE) isn't in or directly contradicts what the manual suggests to do. This isn't just a case where reading the documentation would tell you everything they found worked for them.
