Cassandra Project

Type: Deploying the IDE for Cassandra applications

Topics: This project gives you a hands-on experience in installing and working with Apache Cassandra which is a high performance and extremely scalable database for distributed data with no single point of failure. You will deploy the Java Integrated Development Environment for running Cassandra, learn about the key drivers, work with Cassandra applications in a cluster setup and implement data querying techniques.
