Apache Cassandra is an open source program for Windows intended to serve as a distributed database management system. Thanks to this software solution, you are able to manage large amounts of information across servers, ensuring high-availability with no identifiable point of failure. Moreover, it provides you with support for clusters spanning multiple datacenters, and with asynchronous masterless replication allowing for low latency operations.

Proprietary language

One of the unique features of this utility is the introduction of the Cassandra Query Language. CQL is a simple interface for accessing the database contents, which works similarly to the traditional Structured Query Language. However, it adds an abstraction layer that hides implementation details of the structure and offers native syntaxes for common encoding types. There are also language drivers available for Java, Python, Node js, Go and C++.

Main capabilities

The application was designed as a distributed system, for deployment of nodes across multiple data centers. This means that every node in the cluster has the same role. It is also necessary to note that data is replicated automatically. Additionally, you can replace failed nodes with no downtime.
