I would like to learn Cassandra.
Unfortunately, the few tutorial posts I could find either refer to an old Cassandra version (prior 1) and/or require a somewhat complicated setup, like installing twissandra.
So, I wonder if anyone knows a resource to learn Cassandra without having to install anything, except Cassandra itself, of course.
My setup:
I am pretty comfortable with MongoDB and have some experience with MySql, though it seems that Cassandra is like none of the above.
Anyone?
The tutorial starts off with a basic introduction of Cassandra followed by its architecture, installation, and important classes and interfaces. Thereafter, it proceeds to cover how to perform operations such as create, alter, update, and delete on keyspaces, tables, and indexes using CQLSH as well as Java API.
Cassandra has a little steeper learning curve (IMO). However that has been lessened due to the CQL table-based column families in recent versions, which help to bridge the understanding gap between Cassandra and a relational database.
Step-1: login into cqlsh you can log in into the cqlsh using Cassandra default credential. Now, here before creating a database you first need login into cqlsh. you can check the cluster information after login into cqlsh.
I recommend the video tutorials

and some presentations by datastax

I recommend the below link also which i feel that it has all basic database administration topics which you may be interested to learn with latest version...
