Cassandra Architecture

Cassandra is designed to handle big data. Cassandra’s main objective is to store data over multiple nodes without single point of failure.

Just because the hardware failure can occur at any time. Any node can be destroyed. In case of any failure data stored in another node can be used.

Hence, Cassandra is designed with its distributed architecture.

Cassandra stores data over different nodes with a peer to peer distributed fashion architecture.

All the nodes exchange information with each other using a protocol known as Gossip.

Gossip is a protocol in Cassandra by which nodes can communicate with each other.
