Hi Erwin, Few books are coming out these months :
* Octobre : "Mastering Apache Cassandra" http://www.packtpub.com/mastering-apache-cassandra/book * November : " Cassandra High Performance Cookbook: Second Edition" http://www.packtpub.com/cassandra-high-performance-cookbook/book * December : "Practical Cassandra: A Developer's Approach" http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Cassandra-Developers-Addison-Wesley-Analytics/dp/032193394X/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1382953729&sr=1-5&keywords=cassandra I expected them to be more up-to-date than the oldie "Cassandra: The Definitive Guide" by Eben Hewitt (Nov 29, 2010) This being said, there is also quite a bunch of great content online ! Regards, Dominique [@@ THALES GROUP INTERNAL @@] De : erwin.karb...@gmail.com [mailto:erwin.karb...@gmail.com] De la part de Erwin Karbasi Envoyé : lundi 28 octobre 2013 07:16 À : user@cassandra.apache.org Objet : Re: Cassandra book/tutorial Thanks a lot to all for information. I think so that all the current Cassandra are pretty old and outdated.

It helps to understand decisions that were made and changed and some that are still the same.... like Secondary Indexes which were introduced in 0.7 when http://www.amazon.com/Cassandra-Definitive-Guide-Eben-Hewitt/dp/1449390412 came out back in 2011. If you are really just getting started then I say go and start here http://www.planetcassandra.org/ /******************************************* Joe Stein Founder, Principal Consultant Big Data Open Source Security LLC http://www.stealth.ly Twitter: @allthingshadoop<http://www.twitter.com/allthingshadoop> ********************************************/ On Mon, Oct 28, 2013 at 12:15 AM, ÐΞ€ρ@Ҝ (๏̯͡๏) <deepuj...@gmail.com<mailto:deepuj...@gmail.com>> wrote: With lot of enthusiasm i started reading it. Its out-dated, error prone. I could not even get Cassandra running from that book. Eventually i could not get start with cassandra.

Eben Hewitt's book is great, as are the other C* books like the High Performance Cookbook http://www.amazon.com/Cassandra-Performance-Cookbook-Edward-Capriolo/dp/1849515123 I would recommend reading both of those books. You can also read http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/thrift-to-cql3 to help understandings. From there go with CQL http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/cql3/CQL.html /******************************************* Joe Stein Founder, Principal Consultant Big Data Open Source Security LLC http://www.stealth.ly Twitter: @allthingshadoop<http://www.twitter.com/allthingshadoop> ********************************************/ On Sun, Oct 27, 2013 at 11:58 PM, Mohan L <l.mohan...@gmail.com<mailto:l.mohan...@gmail.com>> wrote: And here also good intro: http://10kloc.wordpress.com/category/nosql-2/ Thanks Mohan L On Mon, Oct 28, 2013 at 8:02 AM, Danie Viljoen <dav...@gmail.com<mailto:dav...@gmail.com>> wrote: Not a book, but I think this is a good start: http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cassandra/2.0/webhelp/index.html On Mon, Oct 28, 2013 at 3:14 PM, Dave Brosius <dbros...@mebigfatguy.com<mailto:dbros...@mebigfatguy.com>> wrote: Unfortunately, as tech books tend to be, it's quite a bit out of date, at this point.
