10 sections • 53 lectures • 3h 10m total length

1.1 Introduction to the Course1:00
1.2 Prerequisites of the Course0:24
1.3 What is Cassandra2:13
Explore Cassandra, an open-source, NoSQL distributed database designed for high availability, scalability, and no single point of failure, with a dynamo-style replication model and schema-free data.
1.4 Cassandra History1:04
Trace Cassandra’s history from its Facebook roots, created by Avinash Lakshman and Prashant Malik, to open source in July 2008, incubator in March 2009, and top-level project in February 2010.
1.5 Cassandra Features2:17
Discover Cassandra features like high scalability, fault-tolerant architecture, continuous availability, linear performance scaling, flexible schema, easy data distribution, and fast operation on commodity hardware.

2.1 Cassandra Architecture4:29
2.2 Relational vs NoSQL2:41
2.3 Cassandra Use Cases1:25
Explore the use cases of Cassandra, including messaging and high-speed data from devices, retail product catalogs, and social media analytics with recommendation engines.
2.5 Cassandra Data Model4:03
2.6 Cassandra vs HBase3:15
2.7 Cassandra vs RDBMS1:46
ensuring java1:28
Download cassandra1:48
extracting cassandra5:16

3.1 Cassandra-A Distributed Database1:51
3.2 System Keyspace2:12
Explore the Cassandra system keyspace, an internal keyspace that stores bootstrapping, cluster configuration, migration data for replication factor changes, and dynamic loading of keyspaces and schemas.
3.3 Peer-to-Peer Model3:08
3.4 Gossip Protocol3:20
3.5 Anti-entropy and Read Repair2:51
Explore how anti-entropy reconciles replica data in Cassandra using Merkle trees and read repair, ensuring consistency across nodes through gossip-based synchronization.
3.6 Memtables SSTables and CommitLogs2:27
3.7 Compaction, Bloom Filters and TombStones4:21

6.1 CQL Create Data4:18
Learn to create data in Cassandra with CQL by inserting into a table with column names and values. Verify results by selecting from the student table in sample keyspace.
6.2 CQL Read Data3:41
6.3 CQL Update Data4:05
Learn how to update data in Cassandra with CQL, using where and set clauses to modify specific rows. See a practical example updating a student record.
6.4 CQL Delete Data3:31
6.5 Getting started with Cassandra in Ubuntu2:49

8.1 Replicas in Cassandra1:41
Explore the replica placement strategy in Cassandra, explain how the replication factor ensures data is replicated across nodes in the ring and how token ranges define replica ownership.
8.2 Replica placement startegy4:07
8.3 Replication factor2:53
8.4 Partitioners3:52
8.5 Snitches2:24
Learn how Cassandra uses snitches to locate nodes by data center and rack through IP address offsets, and how to select a snitch via config or property files.

9.1 Cassandra Monitoring Tools1:04
9.2 Using Node Tool8:07
Learn to use the Cassandra nodetool for cluster monitoring, including status, ring, cfstats, histograms, and compaction stats, and locate the bin directory to manage a node from the command line.
9.3 Using JConsole6:15
9.4 Learning about OpsCenter4:24
Explore how OpsCenter manages a Cassandra cluster via a browser interface, with server installation, agents on each node, and community versus enterprise editions.

10.1 Understanding Cassandra Nodes1:56
10.2 Having a Network Connection4:47
10.3 Specifying the address of a node in Cassandra5:51
Configure Cassandra by setting listen_address and rpc_address to each node's IP, replacing localhost in cassandra.yaml to enable inter-node communication in a multi-node cluster.
10.4 Specifying Seed Nodes4:11
10.5 Bootstrapping a Node13:14
10.6 Cleaning up a Node1:16
10.7 Using Cassandra-stress2:49
10.8 Repairing the nodes4:16

Requirements
