Apache Cassandra questions are easy to answer from stale memory or relational-database assumptions. Use this skill to ground answers in the official Apache Cassandra documentation and return the closest authoritative page instead of generic wide-column or NoSQL advice.
When to Use
Use this skill when the request is about:
- Cassandra concepts: keyspaces, tables, partitions, clustering keys, and replicas
- Getting started, installation, configuration, and production recommendations
- CQL syntax, DDL, DML, data types, functions, operators, and security
- Data modeling: query-first design, denormalization, and physical modeling
- Storage Attached Indexing (SAI) and secondary indexes (2i)
- Vector search, materialized views, and JSON support
- Replication, consistency levels, snitches, and topology changes
- Compaction, repair, hints, backups, and CDC
- Security, authentication, authorization, and audit logging
- Tools: cqlsh, nodetool, SSTable tools, and cassandra-stress
- Architecture, storage engine, and native protocol behavior
- Troubleshooting cluster health, performance, and misbehaving nodes
