Lately I have been reading a lot of blog topics about big sites(facebook, twitter, digg, reddit to name a few) using cassandra as their datastore instead of MysqL.

I would like to gather a list of resources to learn using cassandra. Hopefully some videos or podcasts explaining how to use cassandra.

My list

  • Twissandra - Twissandra is an example project, created to learn and demonstrate how to use Cassandra. Running the project will present a website that has similar functionality to Twitter
  • WTF is a supercolumn - WTF is a SuperColumn? An Intro to the Cassandra Data Model

I hope there are resources to watch howto use cassandra.

Many thanks, Alfred

I found these articles really helpful coming from the relational world:

Right now the docs available for cassandra is limited in some places. I've been watching the Cassandra user and dev email list like a hawk. That seems to be where most of the FAQ's live.

    These links seem to be dead. Does anyone know alternative links or what the new location is? – Teun D Jun 22 '10 at 10:12
  • These were to "Installing and using Apache Cassandra With Java" by Ronald Mathies. It's on archive.org, but I think that Cassandra documentation and wiki might be more up-to-date and useful. (I think that they were the only thing written about Cassandra at one point). http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ – James Broadhead Feb 27 '12 at 18:03
