摘要：A relational database is a traditional database which works on table based architecture. Due to relational system, there is no facility of scalability and also no concept of data replication is available. These problems in a relational database lead to the development of non relational database also called as NOSQL. This paper analyzes the need of NOSQL database and presents an architectural overview of Cassandra. It explains the merits of Cassandra i.e. how it is able to handle huge amount of data, which is always a big issue with relational database like MYSQL and ORACLE etc.
