The "FrontPage" page has been changed by DaveBrosius: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FrontPage?action=diff&rev1=96&rev2=97 = Cassandra Wiki = + + {{{#!wiki red/solid + If you would like to contribute to this wiki, please send an email to the mailing list dev.at.cassandra.apache-dot-org and we will be happy to add you. Contributions welcome! + }}} Cassandra is a highly scalable, eventually consistent, distributed, structured key-value store. Cassandra brings together the distributed systems technologies from [[http://web.archive.org/web/20120221222718/http://s3.amazonaws.com/AllThingsDistributed/sosp/amazon-dynamo-sosp2007.pdf|Dynamo]] and the data model from Google's [[http://research.google.com/archive/bigtable-osdi06.pdf|BigTable]]. Like Dynamo, Cassandra is [[http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2008/12/eventually_consistent.html|eventually consistent]]. Like BigTable, Cassandra provides a ColumnFamily-based data model richer than typical key/value systems.
