Abstract

Abstract The wide spread of IoT devices makes possible the collection of enormous amounts of sensor data. Traditional SQL (structured query language) database management systems are not the most appropriate for storing this type of data. For this task, distributed database management systems are the most adequate. Apache Cassandra is an open source, distributed database server software that stores large amounts of data on low-coast servers, providing high availability. The Cassandra uses the gossip protocol to exchange information between the distributed servers. The query language used is the CQL (Cassandra Query Language). In this paper we present an alternative solution to traditional SQL-based database management systems - the so called NoSQL type database management systems, summarize the main types of these systems and provide a detailed description of the Apache Cassandra open source distributed database server installation, configuration and operation.
