The "GettingStarted" page has been changed by HubertChang. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/GettingStarted?action=diff&rev1=40&rev2=41 -------------------------------------------------- If you don't yet have access to hardware for a Cassandra cluster you can try it out on EC2 with [[Cassandra EC2]]. == Step 4: Write your application == - Cassandra uses [[http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/|Thrift]] for its external client-facing API. Thrift supports a [[http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/incubator/thrift/trunk/lib/|wide variety of languages]] so you can code your application to use Thrift directly, or use a [[http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ClientOptions|high-level client]] where available. Be sure to read the documentation on the [[http://wiki.apache.org/thrift|Thrift wiki]], and check out the Cassandra-specific examples in ThriftExamples before getting started. + Cassandra uses [[http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/|Thrift]] for its external client-facing API. Cassandra's main API/RPC/Thrift port is 9160. It is a common mistake for API clients to connect to the JMX port instead.
