- 2I did ask and they literally regurgitated the "Code is king" mantra :-/ . Please keep in mind though this question is more about helping me understand the proper way to use Cassandra, rather than to focus on the senior engineer's shortcomings...I'm still curious about how Cassandra is intended to be used!!!smeeb– smeeb2017-02-15 11:40:54 +00:00Commented Feb 15, 2017 at 11:40

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
