Mehdi,
Nothing as detailed as Oracle's OFA currently exists. You can probably also
find some useful information here:

Hi Brooke,
Thank you for your advices. Finally, no technical standards (provided by DataStax or Apache) exists for deploying Cassandra in a production environment?
In comparison with some RDBMS (Oracle, MySQL), some standards (OFA for instance) exists and are provided by Oracle.
Best regards
Mehdi

Hi Mehdi,
In addition, give some thought to your cluster topology. For maximum fault tolerance and availability I would recommend using at least three nodes with a replication factor of three. Ideally, you should also use Cassandra logical racks. This will reduce the risk of outage and make ongoing management of the cluster a lot easier.

Hi Mehdi,
In addition, give some thought to your cluster topology. For maximum fault
tolerance and availability I would recommend using at least three nodes
with a replication factor of three. Ideally, you should also use Cassandra
logical racks. This will reduce the risk of outage and make ongoing
management of the cluster a lot easier.

Hi,
you can take a look on http://docs.datastax.com/en/landing_page/doc/landing_page/recommendedSettingsLinux.html
Regarding file system type I guess ext4 is good enough. (Though RedHat now use XFS as default FS).
