Apache Cassandra 1.1 released

by admin ·

The Cassandra team is very pleased to announce the release of Apache Cassandra
version 1.1.0. Cassandra 1.1.0 is a new major release for the Apache Cassandra
distributed database. This version adds numerous improvements [1,2], amongst
which:

  • Schema updates have been reworked and conflict from concurrent updates
    are now automatically resolved [4]
  • It introduces a new major revision of the Cassandra Query Language:
    CQL v3.0 [5], even though CQL 2.0 is still supported and the default.
  • Updates within a row are now made in isolation [6].
  • Finer-grained control over data directories placement [7].
  • Global row and key caches for easier configuration
  • And much more …



And as is the rule for some time now, rolling upgrades from previous versions
are supported, but make sure to have a look at the release notes [2] before
upgrading.

Both source and binary distributions of Cassandra 1.1.0 can be downloaded at:
