I am currently writing "Apache Cassandra From The Ground Up." The primary goal of the book is to:

• Get an in depth understanding of Apache Cassandra and its place in the NoSQL ecosystem.
• When to use Apache Cassandra and when not to use it
• Understand how Cassandra differs from RDBMS and other NoSQL systems
• Understand Apache Cassandra internals, i.e., various algorithms and distributed systems concepts applied in Apache Cassandra. Understanding these distributed concepts is the key to actually understanding Cassandra
• Understand the reasoning and tradeoffs behind Apache Cassandra design decisions
• Data modeling walkthrough
