Apache Cassandra is a free and open-source distributed database.
It is a Java-based, highly scalable, eventually consistent, wide
column store. Cassandra database clusters are masterless with no
single point of failure. Replication can be configured across
multiple data centers.
Originally influenced by Dynamo and BigTable, Cassandra was initially
developed at and open sourced by Facebook before becoming a top-level
Apache project.
The CQL query language offers SQL-like data access and management.
Drivers are available for a number of languages.
===> The following configuration options are available for cassandra5-5.0.8_1:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
SIGAR=off: Use SIGAR to collect system information
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
The default data directory will be created by the database in '/var/db/cassandra', which is already initialized during installation as the 'cassandra' user's home directory.
The default log directory is '/var/log/cassandra' and must created by you to be accessible to the cassandra user.
Start the cassandra service like so: `service cassandra [start|onestart]`.
databases/cassandra[45]: add run_depends on java
These ports need to have a specific JDK installed to run.
In cassandra3 this was already correctly configured.
NB: Cassandra 4 is out of beta for a long time.
