Course Description

In this project that is guided you will be using to use the Cassandra Query Language commands line interface to execute keyspace operations within the Cassandra database.Cassandra is an mighty non-relational database with its own language called Cassandra Query Language (CQL). Its CQL Shell client (cqlsh) is an Python-based command line tool which uses CQL to communicate with the Cassandra databases cluster.In this project you will connect to the Cassandra server, and then connect using cqlsh the server and execute operations on a keyspace within the form of a cluster that is an array of nodes. Nodes are the layers of systems as well as storage units.You will employ an approach to development known as SimpleStrategy to build the keyspace, which is a database object that manages the replication of its contents. The contents could be materialized views, tables and user-defined functions, types as well as aggregates.As you explore keyspace behavior, you will learn to work with information in Cassandra.
