Apache Cassandra with Al Tobey and Kyle Kingsbury

For this upcoming meetup event, we're pleased to be joined by Al Tobey (@AlTobey (https://twitter.com/AlTobey)), Open Source Mechanic at DataStax, and Kyle Kingsbury (@Aphyr (https://twitter.com/aphyr))

As a part of the Jepsen project to educate users about distributed consensus, Kyle has tested Cassandra's behavior with respect to consistency, isolation, and transactions. The results may be surprising.

Al will be presenting a brief introduction to Go (#golang) and Cassandra, and how they are a great fit for each other. This talk will include code samples and a live demo.

In addition to the talks there will be, as usual, food and beverage, plenty of opportunity to have your Cassandra questions answered, meet other Cassandra users and enjoy discussions around NoSQL.

Hope to see you there!
