This happens to be an oldie but a goody. On the same topic, I might as well spread the wealth of links I've amassed for learning and understanding Cassandra:
Coincidentally, I came across this article on my own last weekend. Definitely a great read if you're trying to learn Cassandra, though it doesn't explain why you should learn it.
Does anyone know of a resource that clearly explains the advantages and disadvantages of the various RDBMS alternatives?
