Apache Cassandra - Tutorial 18 - Cassandra Read Path

In this video we will look at the steps Cassandra internally goes through when we read data to our database. It is hugely important to have a good understanding of Cassandra's read path as it will allow us to diagnose and understand potential slowdowns in our database cluster.
Cassandra uses much of the architecture we have already discussed to make its read path intuitive and easy to understand as well as being highly effective and performant. Cassandras optimized for writes first approach which means that the write path will often be more performant than the read path.
