In most cases, you will never have to bother about client connection properties and internode communication settings. Even, by default, the configuration is very smart and robust for any modern-day computer. The rest of this chapter will discuss the cluster setup properties and various options that Cassandra provides out of the box. Security will be discussed briefly. In Chapter 5, Performance Tuning, we will tune Cassandra using various properties in cassandra.yaml.

The cluster name

A cluster name is used to logically group nodes that belong to the same cluster. It works as a name space for nodes. In a multiple-cluster environment, it works as a preventive mechanism for nodes of a cluster to join some other clusters when they boot up.

It is always a good idea to give a meaningful name to a cluster, even if you have a single cluster at the time. Here is an example of how cluster_name can be assigned via cassandra.yaml:

cluster_name: 'MyAppMainCluster'
