Hello, > First, Is this data modeling correct for follow base (follower, following actions) social network?
For social network, I advise you to see Graph Databases, over Cassandra Example : https://academy.datastax.com/resources/getting-started-graph-databases De : Mohammad Kermani [mailto:98kerm...@gmail.com] Envoyé : lundi 30 mai 2016 13:42 À : user@cassandra.apache.org Objet : Cassandra data modeling for a social network We are using Cassandra for our social network and we are designing/data modeling tables we need, it is confusing for us and we don't know how to design some tables and we have some little problems! As we understood for every query we have to have different tables, and for example user A is following user C and B. Now, in Cassandra we have a table that is posts_by_user: user_id | post_id | text | created_on | deleted | view_count likes_count | comments_count | user_full_name And we have a table according to the followers of users, we insert the post's info to the table called user_timeline that when the follower users are visiting the first web page we get the post from database from user_timeline table. And here is user_timeline table: follower_id | post_id | user_id (who posted) | likes_count | comments_count | location_name | user_full_name First, Is this data modeling correct for follow base (follower, following actions) social network? And now we want to count likes of a post, as you see we have number of likes in both tables(user_timeline, posts_by_user), and imagine one user has 1000 followers then by each like action we have to update all 1000 rows in user_timeline and 1 row in posts_by_users; And this is not logical! Then, my second question is How should it be? I mean how should like (favorite) table be?
