Presentation: "Beyond Read-Modify-Write"

Time: Wednesday 11:00 - 11:50 / Location: Superior

As we move into the world of Big Data and the Internet of Things, the systems architectures and data models we’ve relied on for decades are becoming a hindrance. At the core of the problem is the read-modify-write cycle. In this session, Al will talk about how to build systems that don’t rely on RMW, with a focus on Cassandra. Finally, for those times when RMW is unavoidable, he will cover how and when to use Cassandra’s lightweight transactions and collections.
