Re: New Chain for : Does Cassandra use vector clocks

Thanks all for good detail and clarification. I just wanted to get things clear and understand correctly what is the expected behavior when working with Cassandra against various failure conditions so that application can be designed accordingly and provide proper locking/synchronization if

Re: New thread for : How does Cassandra handle failure during synchronous writes

thanks Narendra. I read again the wiki quote you pasted below and now it does make sense. Cassandra's design behavior is to propagate the failed write if it was ever written successfully to atleast one server. I was having hard time trying to work around this but I guess I am starting to think the

Re: How does Cassandra handle failure during synchronous writes

Read repair will probably occur at that point (depending on your config), which would cause the newest value to propagate to more replicas. Is the newest value the quorum value which means it is the old value that will be written back to the nodes having newer non-quorum value or the newest

Re: Is Cassandra suitable for my problem?

Hi Alexandru, I feel Cassandra can certainly be used to solve the problem you have but if your requires are not very strict, you need very high throughput and its okay for you to lose some data occasionally due to machine crash, then I recommend you look at Redis (http://redis.io/). It is a high

Re: New Chain for : Does Cassandra use vector clocks

I was about to ask what Anthony's latest post below captures - if we don't have vector clocks and no locking, how does cassandra prevent/detect conflicts? This is somewhat related to the question I asked in last post -

Patterns for writing enterprise applications on cassandra

Hi, I have general questions on writing enterprise applications on cassandra. I come from a background which involves writing enterprise applications using DBMS. What are the general patterns people follow in Cassandra world when migrating a code that is within transaction boundaries in a
