Cassandra API

The Cassandra API is a way for developers to interact with Apache Cassandra, a highly scalable and distributed database system. It provides tools and commands to store, retrieve, and manage large amounts of structured data across many servers. Think of it as a language or interface that allows applications to efficiently communicate with Cassandra, ensuring data is consistent and accessible even as the system grows. This API supports structured queries, making it easier to develop applications that need to handle big data across distributed environments.
