Andrew Byde, Chief Scientist at Acunu, talks about the features of Cassandra that set it above the pack, and how to get the most out of them, depending on your application. The well-received talk at the 2011 NOSQLNow conference in San Jose touches on de-normalization, how algorithms behind Cassandra leverage awesome write speed to accelerate reads; and how Cassandra achieves multi-datacenter support, tunable consistency and no single point of failure, to give a great solution for highly available systems.
