I'm liking it a +lot, and I have a similar feeling at the end of each chapter of when I was +reading "Designing Data-Intensive Applications": each chapter has some +references to other books, articles and resources, and I feel like I should go +and reach all of them to have a deeper understanding of the subject. + +It gives just enough historical background in the text itself to show that the +author does have knowledge in this area. + +# Chapter 1: Introduction and Overview + +The covering of basic vocabulary (column vs wide-column) is very good and +straightforward, and the fundamental trade-offs are shown very clearly, like +in-memory and disk-based storage, primary-keys and offset lookups, etc. + +Finishing this chapter I was happy with it's content and looking forward for a +more in-depth tour of many of the concepts presented here. |
