Can Cassandra be used as a cache database?
Absolutely, YES. More nuggets promoting Cassandra:
- You can achieve very fast read and write with Cassandra.
- Data is stored in TABLES meaning you can easily defined your cache key as a column
- It already provide a TTL mechanism for rows
- Even if distributed on multiple server if you provide the keycache and a correct data model (keycache = partition key) you directly access the correct node
@gmldba_107428 The quick answer is yes. However, you will need to provide more info for anyone to be able to make any meaningful recommendation.
Given the right data model and correctly-sized cluster among other things, C* can be used as a caching mechanism. Cheers!
