Using Cassandra


Now that we have a running cluster, we will cover some simple examples to explore some of Cassandra's basic functionality. This section will introduce command-line tools, such as nodetool and CQLSH, as well as examples for interacting with Cassandra via Python and Java.

Nodetool

Nodetool is Cassandra's collection of delivered tools that help with a variety of different operational and diagnostic functions. As previously mentioned, probably the most common nodetool command that you will run is nodetool status, which should produce output similar to this:

$ nodetool status
