In Week 8, you will run Apache Cassandra in Docker and practise basic Cassandra commands.
Complete the task in this order:
- Start Cassandra containers with Docker.
- Build a small Cassandra cluster.
- Check cluster health with
nodetool. - Use
cqlshto create a keyspace and table. - Insert and query Cassandra data.
- Connect to Cassandra from Python.
- Clean up the Cassandra containers.
Warning
Cassandra containers use a lot of memory. Use a VM with at least 8 GB RAM for this lab.
