How Cassandra and Kafka Fit in the Blockchain Ecosystem - Anant? ›

Kafka can be used to stream blockchain data in real-time, while Cassandra can be used to store and manage the data in a decentralized and highly available manner.

In the world of big data and distributed systems, Apache Kafka and Cassandra are both potent tools. Cassandra is a highly scalable NoSQL database, whereas Kafka is a distributed streaming platform with outstanding performance.

In summary, Cassandra is a NoSQL database used for scalable and fault-tolerant data storage and processing, while Kafka is a distributed streaming platform used for high-throughput, fault-tolerant messaging and real-time data streaming.

Adding the Cassandra Source connector

Kafka Connect has a REST API to interact with connectors. We need to add the Cassandra Source connector to the Kafka Connect. This is done by sending the property file ( connect-cassandra-source. json ) to Kafka Connect through the REST API.

Kafka guarantees a stronger ordering of message delivery than a traditional messaging system. Traditional messaging systems hand out messages in order, but these messages are delivered asynchronously to the consumers. This could result in the message getting delivered out of order to different consumers.

Apache Cassandra is a scalable and robust open-source NoSQL database designed to handle vast amounts of distributed data without compromising on performance or availability. Its high availability and fault tolerance features make it a popular choice for organizations that deal with large-scale, dynamic datasets.

Whether you need to keep data for days, weeks, or even indefinitely, Kafka offers the flexibility to adjust retention policies. This long-term storage capability ensures that data remains available for future access and processing, similar to how databases retain historical data for queries and analysis.

Apache Kafka is massively scalable because it allows data to be distributed across multiple servers, and it's extremely fast because it decouples data streams, which results in low latency. It can also distribute and replicate partitions across many servers, which protects against server failure.

Both siblings offer players a unique gameplay experience, but the story remains the same with similar events being played out for Kassandra and Alexios. However, this begs the question that which sibling should players really play as in Assassin's Creed Odyssey?

Anything that is characteristic or reminiscent of the quality of Franz Kafka's oppressive, nightmarish fictional world can be described as being Kafkaesque. Kafkaesque refers to the Czech writer Franz Kafka.

What is the difference between Kafka and other? ›

The difference is that ESBs focus on the integration of legacy and off-the-shelf systems, using an ephemeral and comparably low-throughput messaging layer, which encourages request-response protocols. Kafka, however, is a streaming platform, and as such puts emphasis on high-throughput events and stream processing.

Eivor possibly has better military intelligence having more experience. TLDR to me Kassandra is a true assassin, Eivor is true warrior. But if you had both of them fight with no armour (Kassandra with no spear either) and just a sword.
