Cassandra users looking to make their lives easier might benefit from using Cassandra on Apache Mesos. This recent post from the Mesosphere blog provides a complete tutorial on how to get started, arguing that while Cassandra on Mesos is a newer port, the two technologies are a great fit for each other because of Cassandra’s peer-to-peer architecture. The Mesosphere tutorial covers the basics and on, including:
- Reasons to use Cassandra and Mesos
- How to deply Cassandra on Mesos
- How to run CQL queries through Mesos
- How to scale your database
Check out Mesosphere’s full tutorial to get started. They’ve provide quite a few other Mesos tutorials as well, covering topics such as Hadoop, Spark, and Chronos.
