1. Quote of the Week
You see, in Cassandra 1.x, the data model is centered around what Cassandra calls “column families”. A column family contains rows, which are identified by a row key. The row key is what you need to fetch the data from the row. The row can then have one or more columns, each of which has a name, value, and timestamp. (A value is also called a “cell”). Cassandra’s data model flexibility comes from the following facts:
* column names are defined per-row
* rows can be “wide” — that is, have hundreds, thousands, or even millions of columns
* columns can be sorted, and ranges of ordered columns can be selected efficiently using “slices”.
