Cassandra evolution over 5 years

This post goes over the original paper of Cassandra and comparing it to where we are today with 2.0 release.

A few good points from the article:

"Cassandra has also consistently led the NoSQL market in performance."

On Eventual Consistency : " Perhaps the best treatment of this subject is Christos Kalantzis’s from this year’s Cassandra Summit."

2008 Cassandra’s data model is unrecognizable today.Supercolumns are gone. “Column families” have been replaced by tables, which offer a mostly-conventional schema

remember that when it says “columns” it means what today we call “cells” and by “rows” it means “partitions.”
