Abstract
Cassandra is a distributed storage system for managing very large amounts of structured data spread out across many commodity servers, while providing highly available service with no single point of failure. Cassandra aims to run on top of an infrastructure of hundreds of nodes (possibly spread across different data centers). At this scale, small and large components fail continuously. The way Cassandra manages the persistent state in the face of these failures drives the reliability and scalability of the software systems relying on this service. While in many ways Cassandra resembles a database and shares many design and implementation strategies therewith, Cassandra does not support a full relational data model; instead, it provides clients with a simple data model that supports dynamic control over data layout and format. Cassandra system was designed to run on cheap commodity hardware and handle high write throughput while not sacrificing read efficiency.

Big data analytic architecture for intruder detection in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks

TL;DR: A three layered big data analytic architecture is designed to analyze the data generated during the construction of the barrier and detection of the intruder using camera sensors and average data processing time can be reduced by using parallel servers even if for larger size of data.

LDC: A Lower-Level Driven Compaction Method to Optimize SSD-Oriented Key-Value Stores

TL;DR: A novel Lower-level Driven Compaction (LDC) method is proposed, which breaks the limitations of the traditional upper-level driven compaction manner and triggers practical compaction actions by lower-level data and has the benefits of both decreasing the compaction granularity effectively for smaller tail latency and reducing the write amplification of LSM-tree compaction for higher throughput.
