Cassandra 4.0
Cassandra 4.0 brings improvements in performance, stability, and so much more. Get started today with the most stable release of Cassandra ever!
What Is Cassandra 4.0?
Apache Cassandra 4.0 is the first major release in the Cassandra community in over six years. Cassandra 4.0 significantly enhances the NoSQL database’s performance.
Aside from a range of enterprise-grade feature additions, Cassandra 4.0 comes with significant improvements to stability and performance over previous releases.
- Performance
Streaming between nodes is 5 times faster and throughput on reads and writes is 25% faster.
- Stability
Cassandra 4.0 is the most exhaustively tested release of Cassandra to date to ensure stability in production environments.
- Fastest Cassandra yet
Five times faster streaming between nodes as well as 25% faster throughput on reads and writes.
- Full query logging capability
There are a number of exciting use cases for full query logs in Cassandra. Full query logs allow you to log, replay, and compare CQL requests live without affecting the performance of your production environment.
- Virtual Tables
A new form of metrics called virtual tables accessible through CQL.
- Compression Algorithms
New and more efficient compression algorithms.
- Changes to incremental repair

- Netty Transport
This allows Cassandra to move away from having an N threads per peer model, to a single thread pool for all connections. This dramatically reduces performance issues related to thread signalling, coordination and context switching.
