With Apache Cassandra being a massively scalable open source NoSQL database and with the amount of data that we create and copy annually which is doubling in size every two years, it is expected to reach 44 zettabytes, or 44 trillion gigabytes, we can assume that sooner or later a DBA will be handling a Cassandra database in their shop. This beginner/intermediate-level session will take you through my journey of an Oracle DBA and my first 100 days of starting to administer a Cassandra Cluster, show several demos and all the roadblocks and the success I had along this path.
