Named after Hector, a warrior of Troy in Greek mythology, it is a substitute for the Cassandra Java Client, or Thrift,[1] that is encapsulated by Hector.[2] It also has Maven repository access.[3] The high-level features of Hector are[1] Hector exposes availability counters and statistics through JMX.[5] Hector follows two load balancing policies with the LoadBalancingPolicy interface. The Apache Cassandra Project. Apache ZooKeeper - Home. Jsevellec/cassandra-unit. DataStax – Software, support, and training for Apache Cassandra. Apache Cassandra. Apache Cassandra is an open source distributed database management system designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers, providing high availability with no single point of failure.
Cassandra offers robust support for clusters spanning multiple datacenters,[1] with asynchronous masterless replication allowing low latency operations for all clients. Cassandra also places a high value on performance. In 2012, University of Toronto researchers studying NoSQL systems concluded that "In terms of scalability, there is a clear winner throughout our experiments. Cassandra achieves the highest throughput for the maximum number of nodes in all experiments.
