Cassandra databases. Cassandra is increasingly a key player in many
big data environments, and this book shows you how to use Cassandra
with Apache Spark, a popular big data processing framework. Also
covered are day-to-day topics of importance such as the backup and
recovery of Cassandra databases, using the right compression and
compaction strategies, and loading and unloading data. Expert
Apache Cassandra Administration provides numerous step-by-step
examples starting with the basics of a Cassandra database, and
