About inserts and updatesA brief description and illustration about insert and update operations.
About deletesHow Cassandra deletes data and why deleted data can reappear.
About hinted handoff writesHow hinted handoff works and how it optimizes the cluster.
About readsHow Cassandra combines results from the active memtable and potentially mutliple SSTables to satisfy a read.
About transactions and concurrency controlA brief description about transactions and concurrency control.
Configuring data consistencyHow up-to-date and synchronized a row of data is on all replicas.
