London Cassandra User Group:Russell Smith on Riak
Russell Smith on Riak
This month we're focusing on analysing other distributed databases to see how they compare to Cassandra. The idea is to try to get an idea of the strengths and weaknesses of the different approaches and the use-cases they might be suitable for. It's also, arguably, an interesting month for anyone who is currently evaluating NoSQL solutions. -In this talk, Russell Smith gives an introduction to Riak, including an example use case and how it compares with Cassandra.

MongoDB for Administrators and Operations

This course covers everything a database administrator needs to know to successfully deploy and maintain MongoDB databases and shard clusters. In addition to deployment and maintenance, course topics will include diagnosing performance issues, importing and exporting data, and establishing the proper backup and restore routines. We'll present ideal hardware configurations and discuss common pitfalls for new deployments. The course also includes an overview of the MongoDB CRUD API, the command shell, and the drivers.

  • Design schemas that take advantage of the document data model and of MongoDB’s core features.
  • Understand how typical RDBMS schemas can be migrated to MongoDB.
  • Build efficient indexes and troubleshoot slow queries.
  • Configure both master/slave replication and replica sets.
