This is repository contains a fork of Apache Cassandra ready to embed Elasticsearch indices, see Elassandra project. For build and install instructions, see the official Apache Cassandra README
You can build Elassandra with any Cassandra version 3.x including the following modifications (at least mandatory modifications, optional modifications just provides new features or improvements). See How to contribute in the Elassandra project.

Note for Windows users: to install Cassandra as a service, download Procrun, set the PRUNSRV environment variable to the full path of prunsrv (e.g., C:\procrun\prunsrv.exe), and run "bin\cassandra.bat install". Similarly, "uninstall" will remove the service.
Now let’s try to read and write some data using the Cassandra Query Language:
$ bin/cqlsh
The command line client is interactive so if everything worked you should be sitting in front of a prompt:
Connected to Test Cluster at localhost:9160. [cqlsh 2.2.0 | Cassandra 1.2.0 | CQL spec 3.0.0 | Thrift protocol 19.35.0] Use HELP for help. cqlsh>
As the banner says, you can use 'help;' or '?' to see what CQL has to offer, and 'quit;' or 'exit;' when you’ve had enough fun. But lets try something slightly more interesting:
cqlsh> CREATE KEYSPACE schema1 WITH replication = { 'class' : 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor' : 1 }; cqlsh> USE schema1; cqlsh:Schema1> CREATE TABLE users ( user_id varchar PRIMARY KEY, first varchar, last varchar, age int ); cqlsh:Schema1> INSERT INTO users (user_id, first, last, age) VALUES ('jsmith', 'John', 'Smith', 42); cqlsh:Schema1> SELECT * FROM users; user_id | age | first | last ---------+-----+-------+------- jsmith | 42 | john | smith cqlsh:Schema1>
If your session looks similar to what’s above, congrats, your single node cluster is operational!
For more on what commands are supported by CQL, see the CQL reference. A reasonable way to think of it is as, "SQL minus joins and subqueries, plus collections."
