10 JUL 2026 - Back up to full speed! Let's be honest: for the last few months, TorrentFunk was painfully slow. Pages crawled, searches dragged, and just loading the site tested everyone's patience. We hunted the problem down to our network and rebuilt it from the ground up — smarter caching, a much bigger and faster connection, and a lot of fine-tuning under the hood. The difference is night and day: the site now loads in a fraction of a second. No more waiting around. Thanks for sticking with us through the slow spell. Now go discover your funk!
Cassandra is a distributed database from Apache that is highly scalable and designed to manage very large amounts of structured data. It provides high availability with no single point of failure.
Apache Cassandra is a NoSQL database capable of handling large amounts of data that change rapidly. In this course, learn about the architecture of this popular database, and discover how to design Cassandra data models that support scalable applications. The course highlights the differences between Cassandra and relational databases, discusses the Cassandra Query Language (CQL).
The course starts off with the installation of Oracle’s virtualbox and ubuntu-linux followed by the installing of Cassandra on the Ubuntu-linux virtual machine. The course then covers a basic introduction of Cassandra followed by its architecture, installation, and how to perform operations such as create, alter, update, and delete on keyspaces, tables, and indexes using CQLSH
