The comment on this change is: fix a link to point to the existing page for EC2 setup.. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/GettingStarted?action=diff&rev1=45&rev2=46 -------------------------------------------------- }}} Advanced cluster management is described in [[Operations]]. - If you don't yet have access to hardware for a Cassandra cluster you can try it out on EC2 with [[Cassandra EC2]]. + If you don't yet have access to hardware for a Cassandra cluster you can try it out on EC2 with [[CloudConfig]]. == Step 4: Write your application == Cassandra uses [[http://incubator.apache.org/thrift/|Thrift]] for its external client-facing API. Cassandra's main API/RPC/Thrift port is 9160. 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.
