Welcome to the Cassandra Project
Cassandra is a highly scalable, eventually consistent, distributed, structured key-value store. Cassandra brings together the distributed systems technologies from Dynamo and the data model from Google's BigTable. Like Dynamo, Cassandra is eventually consistent. Like BigTable, Cassandra provides a ColumnFamily-based data model richer than typical key/value systems.
Cassandra was open sourced by Facebook in 2008, where it was designed by one of the authors of Amazon's Dynamo. In a lot of ways you can think of Cassandra as Dynamo 2.0. Cassandra is in production use at Facebook but is still under heavy development.
Installing libevent
libevent is a prerequisite for memcached:
$ curl -O http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent-1.4.12-stable.tar.gz $ tar xzvf libevent-1.4.12-stable.tar.gz $ cd libevent-1.4.12-stable $ ./configure $ make $ make verify $ sudo make installInstalling memcached
$ curl -O http://memcached.googlecode.com/files/memcached-1.4.1.tar.gz $ tar xzvf memcached-1.4.1.tar.gz $ cd memcached-1.4.1 $ ./configure $ make $ make test $ sudo make installTesting
In my case I have a script in the script dir of a Rails application that I call whenever I want to start or stop memcached, so I just used that:
$ script/memcached memcached not running: starting $ script/memcached memcached running: stopping(The script basically just does memcached -d -P pidfile -l 127.0.0.1 to start memcached.)
