1.简介
Cassandra is a distributed NoSQL database management system designed for scalability and high availability with low latency. It provides robust support for clusters spanning multiple data centers, fault tolerance, automatic replication, and flexible data model design. Cassandra has been used in mission critical applications such as Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, Netflix Priam, Netflix ElastiCache, Instagram, and Pinterest. This guide will help you get started running Cassandra on Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 instances. We will use Ubuntu Server 16.04 LTS (HVM), the free tier of which includes 750 hours per month of compute time and 2 GB memory. You can also choose any other Linux distribution or Windows Server instance if you prefer.
