Introducing Apache Cassandra® 5
Channel: The Linux Foundation
Date: 2024-01-10

A few months ago, Patrick conducted a user survey and after that the community delivered. So since last week we have Cassandra 5. 0 beta and you can see there we already delivered the storage attached indexing, which is the indexing mechanism is tightly coupled with the storage engine, which provides huge opportunities for the data modeling.

Also, it's very performant. and it works with the existing data models, which is a great thing. Unified compaction strategy was also delivered, and the great thing about it is that you don't need to know anything, because it just works with our already two very well known compaction strategies, and it's also very performant, and it reduces the overhead from space perspective.
