Mastering Apache Cassandra

Must read if you wanna learn Cassandra the right way!
Very well written book, provides just enough background compared to nonsensical philosophy many others offer.

I like the way the book is organized
From my perspective is the most advanced, complete &up-to-date reference about Cassandra with advanced topics such as clustering, tuning, monitoring and hadoop integration.I like the way the book is organized: clear information, good samples and still with very advanced topics the authors did a good job explaning complex topics. It is a must to have if you are entering the new distributed database world & NOSQL ..

A fine update and excellent reference and learning guide.
This second edition of Master Cassandra over comes the major complaint of the first edition as being out of date. It covers the latest versions of Cassandra and then some. All the first edition chapters have been updated, and CQL get a good introduction in the 3rd chapter now. This is my 3rd book on Cassandra and I have to say it is now my favorite as it has tons of internals information. It is well written and made many complex concepts very understandable for me. Glad to have in in my Library.One spot I disagree with the author though is on swap. In his experience he may prefer the database system go down from the OS's Out-of-Memory(OOM) kill from lack of swap space instead of having sluggish performance. Many places I have worked, every outage counted against your SLA and could lead to huge fines. Sluggish is not always consider down or count against your SLA and on the fly adjustments might be possible to get it back to acceptable levels. Other then that I enjoyed the book.

After reading this I feel comfortable using Cassandra *and* explaining how it works
Discussed implementation details and design decisions of Cassandra concisely but thoroughly. After reading this I feel comfortable using Cassandra *and* explaining how it works. Also, this and Learning Apache Cassandra (also published by Packt) were the only books I could find on Cassandra 2.0 as of June 2015.

Excellent insides about Cassandra
It is refering to a recent version and it gives very good insides about the usage of Cassandra. I worked more than 1 year with Cassandra 2.0.x and 2.1.x and even after this time it helped me to get a better understanding of Cassandra.
