This API stores data in column-oriented schema. Apache Cassandra offers a highly distributed, horizontally scaling approach to storing large volumes of data while offering a flexible approach to a column-oriented schema. Cassandra API in Azure Cosmos DB aligns with this philosophy to approaching distributed NoSQL databases. Cassandra API is wire protocol compatible with the Apache Cassandra. You should consider Cassandra API if you want to benefit the elasticity and fully managed nature of Azure Cosmos DB and still use most of the native Apache Cassandra features, tools, and ecosystem. This means on Cassandra API you don't need to manage the OS, Java VM, garbage collector, read/write performance, nodes, clusters, etc.
