Abstract

Traditional databases cannot handle a huge amount of data. NoSQL database like Cassandra can handle large data with easier management and lower cost compared to SQL databases like Oracle and other relational databases. Cassandra is an open source technology. This paper explains how Cassandra helps in handling large data efficiently with almost 30–35% more efficient than the relational database like Oracle when data size increases to ten thousand and beyond. For this, the paper explains an experiment which was carried out by varying the size of number of data records and comparing the performance of Cassandra and Oracle. As the data size was continuously increased, most of the Cassandra queries took almost 30–35% less time as compared to Oracle. Though Oracle was more efficient when data size was less (up to 40 × 103 records), the performance dropped thereafter continuously for every 10 × 103 increase in data size thereafter.
