The Cassandra SF 2011 summit on July 11th 2011 promises to be a ‘must-go’ event for any one working with “Big Data”. The Cassandra community has grown so much in the last year, that now the organizers have a larger venue, with two rooms set aside for presentations, multiple rooms set aside for Birds of a Feather talks, committer meetups, and other small discussions.

The agenda includes:

Use Cases: Everyone has been asking to hear more about use cases. We’ve devoted an entire room to use cases. Non-stop. All day.
Data Modeling Workshop: One of the most-requested presentation topics is data modeling. Rather than offer you yet another introduction to data modeling, we’re holding a workshop. Bring us that scenario that’s giving you fits!
Counters: What are the performance and tradeoffs with counters? When and how should you use distributed counters? How can you use Cassandra counters for analytics?
Clients: CQL and future of Cassandra clients. How to write clients for to Cassandra, post 0.8. What are the Cassandra / Hadoop integration best practices.
Brisk: Getting started with Brisk. How to write Pig on Brisk. How to perform incremental work in Brisk MR.
Other topics: How to set up PKI for encrypted replication. Practical Pig on Cassandra. Cassandra for log aggregation. Cassandra for configuration management.
