  To understand Cassandra's architecture you should read [[http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2007/10/amazons_dynamo.html|the Dynamo paper]] and the related [[http://www.allthingsdistributed.com/2008/12/eventually_consistent.html|paper on eventual consistency]].  Sections 5.3 and 5.4 of [[http://labs.google.com/papers/bigtable.html|the Bigtable paper]] are also relevant to Cassandra's on-disk storage model. Cassandra's failure detector is based on [[http://vsedach.googlepages.com/HDY04.pdf|the phi accrual failure detector]].
