Cassandra Data Modeling and Analysis

Cassandra Data Modeling and Analysis

<b>Design, build, and analyze your data intricately using Cassandra</b><h2>About This Book</h2><ul><li>Build professional data models in Cassandra using CQL and appropriate indexes</li><li>Grasp the Model-By-Query techniques through working examples</li><li>Step-by-step tutorial of a stock market technical analysis application</li></ul><h2>Who This Book Is For</h2><p>If you are interested in Cassandra and want to develop real-world analysis applications, then this book is perfect for you. It would be helpful to have prior knowledge of NoSQL database.</p><h2>What You Will Learn</h2><ul> <br /><li>Discover the unique way of query-driven data modeling in Cassandra</li> <br /><li>Explore the differences between a data model of a relational database and that of Cassandra</li> <br /><li>Master the correct uses of the primary index, composite key, compound key, and secondary index</li> <br /><li>Design a high-performance Cassandra data model</li> <br /><li>Develop a complete, real-world technical-analysis application for the stock market</li> <br /><li>Grasp the techniques of evolving a data model in production</li> <br /><li>Determine effective performance tuning, replication, and system-monitoring strategies</li> <br /></ul><h2>In Detail</h2><p>Starting with a quick introduction to Cassandra, this book flows through various aspects such as fundamental data modeling approaches, selection of data types, designing a data model, choosing suitable keys and indexes through to a real-world application, all the while applying the best practices covered in this book.</p><p>Although the application is small, you will be involved in the full development life cycle. You will go through the design considerations of coming up with a flexible and sustainable data model for a stock market technical-analysis application written in Python. As business changes continually and so does a data model, you will also learn the techniques of evolving a data model to address new business requirements. Running a web-scale Cassandra cluster requires many careful considerations such as evolving a data model, performance tuning, and system monitoring. This book is an invaluable tutorial for anyone who wants to adopt Cassandra.</p>
