Course Description

This video course provides you with the necessary know-how to effectively administrate and perform operations in Cassandra. You will also get to know, from an architecture perspective, how Cassandra differs from traditional databases and other popular NoSQL databases. The course starts off by showing you the steps to build your own cluster, and introduces you to the different use cases for Cassandra. Along the way, you will encounter caveats based on scenarios that may not be a good fit. After learning how to install Cassandra, you will learn how to use different monitoring tools and methods to import and export large amount of data. Next, primary and secondary indexes are explained to help you select the appropriate indexing that enables fast and efficient data lookup to respond to search and retrieval requests. Finally, you will use various tools to facilitate performance tuning, and conduct a stress test on a cluster, and interpret the performance results. By the end of this course, you will have developed the required skills to install and set up any Cassandra cluster, along with administrating and managing daily operations easily.

Super stale content (Cassandra 1.x on Ubuntu 10.04), not applicabile in practice

By Christine Henry on 7/14/2020

I find that the teacher is speaking too fast : I will have to repeat this course several times to really absorb all that is said.

By Hassan khalafi on 7/4/2020

the presenter talking too fast and lenght hands-on demonstration was too short.

By Rajib guin on 6/5/2020

good but the pace can be a little bit slow

By Brian Bellrose on 5/25/2020

It is a decent course, but since it is very old some of the content should be updated. Briefly references 2.0 at the end however current version of Cassandra is 3.11

By Shakeeb Momin on 4/7/2020

1- Cassandra version is very old.
2- Tutorials are not very thorough.

By Valmiki Srikrishna on 4/2/2020

Yes. It is good match for me. but some times the video is getting struck and we should get some notes of this course that will definitely help us in future.

By Rahul Mukerjee on 2/6/2020

course content is super quick.A bit more elaboration is needed

By Laxminarsimha on 11/13/2019
