Cassandra in Action with Twitter's Ruby Client
有一个全新的项目，因为考虑到将来的数据扩展性能，所以考虑用Cassandra做数据存储，前端用Lighttpd + FastCGI + Rails。在使用Cassandra的时候，觉得有一些东西可能大家都需要，就写了一个简单的指南。因为内容比较长（16页），就弄了个PDF文件给大家下载。

如果下载链接有问题，请给我邮件：spanzhang@gmail.com。需要说明一下的是，这个指南是用英语写的，不过都是些很简单的句子，相信有四级英语就可以毫不费力的看明白。下面把文章的引文放这里，供大家参考，你可以看看适不适合你的需要：
Okay, let me get something straight. I’m not going to persuade you to use Cassandra. I just assume you have already chosen Cassandra as your storage solution. Maybe you know the basic things, the underneath mechanisms, about Cassandra or maybe not. Anyway, I assume you don’t care what makes Cassandra outstanding and you just want to use it. If that’s the case, this tutorial is going to help you, in these 3 aspects:
1) to set up the environment correctly,
2) to understand how to model you data in a Cassandra way,
3) to understand and use Twitter’s Cassandra Ruby client.
After reading this tutorial, you should have a working environment and can start your project with a good understanding of doing your job in a very Cassandra way. Here we go!
