Explore Apache Cassandra on Ubuntu through a hands-on course that covers NoSQL basics, installation, and masterless replication for high availability, plus Cassandra query language for keyspaces, tables, and data operations.
Explore Apache Cassandra, a free, open-source distributed NoSQL wide-column store designed for high availability and fault tolerance, with asynchronous masterless replication across multi-data centers.
Explore NoSQL databases, non-relational systems with schema-free models, easy replication, simple APIs, and eventual consistency. Prioritize simplicity of design, horizontal scaling, and controlled availability for large data.
Explore whether relational databases can handle big data by examining ACID properties, transactional systems, and challenges like replication lag, sharding, complex joins, schema changes, and high availability.
Explore set and list data types in Cassandra through hands-on demonstrations, including creating images tables with tag as set of text, inserting and updating records, and observing sorted list behavior.
Define and manage user defined types in Cassandra using create type, alter type, and drop type statements, and apply them to table schemas such as address and user profiles.
Create keyspaces using data definition language, choosing replication strategies and factors with simple and network topology options, and observe practical demonstrations of keyspace creation and warnings.
Use the use statement to switch the current key space, making it the default for objects; the hands-on demo toggles between sample 11 and sample 22, showing the visualization change.
Learn how to alter key space in Cassandra using DDL, including syntax, replication class, and replication factor, with a practical sample on a single node.
Learn how to drop a keyspace with the drop keyspace statement, including if exists, and follow a practical demo dropping the sample 22 keyspace.
Master the data definition tasks in Cassandra by creating tables with create table, defining a mandatory primary key, and using cluster order by m_time descending with practical examples.
Learn how to drop a table with the drop table statement in DDL, including if exists syntax, and demonstrates how it permanently deletes the table and its data in Cassandra.
Learners practice truncate table table_name to remove all data while keeping the table, see the syntax and a practical demo truncating a table to an empty table.
Practice data manipulation with the DML insert statement by inserting rows into a table using insert into syntax, quoting strings and leaving numbers unquoted, demonstrated on the employee table.
Master the data manipulation language (DML) update statement in Cassandra, mastering the syntax update table set column = value where condition, with a practical employee salary example.
Master the DML delete statement with a hands-on demonstration of deleting rows using delete from table where, including removing an employee's salary by id.
Master batch data manipulation with DML by executing multiple insert, update, and delete statements in a single batch, demonstrated with example calls and a practical exercise.
Explore how Cassandra query language creates and drops secondary indexes on tables through practical demonstrations, including indexing the salary column on the employ table.
Learn to use scalar functions to convert data types, generate time-based uuids, and define time ranges with min and max time uuid; apply date functions for current date and time.
Create a keyspace and tables in Apache Cassandra, insert and fetch data with a select statement, and set up an empty write table to load data from Spark.
Learn to access Cassandra data with Spark shell and the Spark Cassandra connector, create a catalog, read data into a data frame, and append write to Cassandra.
