Re: Cassandra installation best practices

Mehdi,

Nothing as detailed as Oracle's OFA currently exists. You can probably also
find some useful information here:

Re: Cassandra installation best practices

[Mehdi Bada]

Hi Brooke, 

Thank you for your advices. Finally, no technical standards (provided by 
DataStax or Apache) exists for deploying Cassandra in a production environment? 

In comparison with some RDBMS (Oracle, MySQL), some standards (OFA for 
instance) exists and are provided by Oracle. 

Best regards 
Mehdi

Hi Mehdi, 
In addition, give some thought to your cluster topology. For maximum fault 
tolerance and availability I would recommend using at least three nodes with a 
replication factor of three. Ideally, you should also use Cassandra logical 
racks. This will reduce the risk of outage and make ongoing management of the 
cluster a lot easier.

Hi,



you can take a look on 
http://docs.datastax.com/en/landing_page/doc/landing_page/recommendedSettingsLinux.html



Regarding file system type I guess ext4 is good enough. (Though RedHat now use 
XFS as default FS).
