Hi all, I'm currently in the process of understanding the inner workings of Cassandra with regards to network and local storage mechanisms and operations. In order to do so, I've written a blog post about it which is now in a "first final" version.
Any feedback, especially corrections regarding misunderstandings on my side, would be highly appreciated. The post really represents my very subjective view on how Cassandra works under the hood, which makes it prone to errors of course. You can access the current version at http://journeymonitor.com:4000/tutorials/2016/02/29/cassandra-inner-workings-and-how-this-relates-to-performance/ Thanks, -- Manuel
