Abstract

Functional data models are great, but how can you squeeze out more performance and make them awesome! Let's talk through some example Cassandra 2.0 models, go through the tuning steps and understand the tradeoffs. Many time's just a simple understanding of the underlying Cassandra 2.0 internals can make all the difference. I've helped some of the biggest companies in the world do this and I can help you. Do you feel the need for Cassandra 2.0 speed?
