Running my first Cassandra cluster

I like the idea to scale horizontally, and noSql has some db:s that helps with the concept of partitioning data... So here is my first cluster, up n running. For the shaped eyed person you can see that all nodes are on the same host i.e. 127.0.0.x, but to my defense it's only a lab..

Simple Made Easy

I saw this presentation a month ago... When you see something that won’t leave your mind for weeks, it's worth sharing. Rich Hickey talks about the idea that even thought a solution looks simple it is not always easy to accomplish, if you turn that around, things that seems like the easy way don't always turn out to become the simple solutions.

This will take one hour of your life, for some of you he may state the obvious, but sometimes it's nice to have words for that thoughts that you may have :
