Awesome Cassandra Awesome

Apache Cassandra is a free and open-source, distributed, wide column store, NoSQL database management system designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers, providing high availability with no single point of failure.

This is a curated list of awesome Apache Cassandra packages and resources. Maintained by Rahul Singh of Anant. Feel free contact me if you'd like to collaborate on this and other awesome lists. Awesome Cassandra , Awesome Solr, Awesome Lucene. This powers the Resources section of Cassandra.Link, a rich collection of blog feeds, and curated links as a searchable knowledge base.

Contents

General

Cassandra

  • Apache Cassandra - Manage massive amounts of data, fast, without losing sleep.

Cassandra History

Cassandra Use Cases

Cassandra Distributions

  • Datastax Enterrpise - Most widely used commercial distribution of Apache Cassandra, integrated with Apache Spark (for SparkSQL, analytics), Apache Solr (for secondary index), Apache TinkerPop based Graph stored in Cassandra, and OpsCenter.
  • DDACS - Datastax Distribution of Apache Cassandra, a production ready distribution with a bulk loader supported by Datastax.
  • Elassandra - Elassandra = Elasticsearch as a Cassandra secondary index.
  • ScyllaDB - NoSQL data store using the seastar framework, compatible with Apache Cassandra.
  • YugaByte Database - YugaByteDB is a transactional, high-performance database for building distributed cloud services. It supports Cassandra-compatible and Redis-compatible APIs, with PostgreSQL in Beta.
  • Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB: Apache Cassandra API - Azure Cosmos DB provides the Cassandra API (preview) for applications that are written for Apache Cassandra that need premium capabilities.

Integrating with Cassandra

Spark

  • DataStax Spark Cassandra Connector - This library lets you expose Cassandra tables as Spark RDDs, write Spark RDDs to Cassandra tables, and execute arbitrary CQL queries in your Spark applications.
