Introduction


One unique feature in MariaDB is the Cassandra storage engine. This is a specialized storage engine, similar to the Connect storage engine featured in Chapter 5, The CONNECT Storage Engine. Like Connect, it allows us to access data stored outside of MariaDB. Unlike Connect, the Cassandra storage engine is specific to a certain type of data, namely, it lets us connect MariaDB to a Cassandra cluster.

In this chapter, there are recipes on installing and configuring the Cassandra storage engine, defining tables that use the storage engine to insert, update, delete, and query data.

The Cassandra storage engine in MariaDB is built and packaged only for Linux-based operating systems. As such, the recipes in this chapter assume that we are using a variant of Linux as we complete them.
