Hi Deepak, You can try Datastax Docs, they are most extensive and updated documentation available. As Cassandra is a fast developing technology I wonder if there is a Book in the market which covers latest features like Materialized Views/ SASI Index or new SSTable Format. I believe the best starting point would be the Academy Tutorials and further Planet Cassandra - A week in Cassandra series provides good overview of blogs and developments by Cassandra Evangelists. It also provides link of top blogs which help understand internal working of the Database.
However if you still feel the need, you may refer to books, here are some that I know of - Beginning Apache Cassandra Development - Vivek Mishra - 2014 - Link <https://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Apache-Cassandra-Development-Mishra/dp/1484201434> Cassandra Data Modeling and Analysis - 2014 C.Y.
