Q848. How Cassandra provides better Read performance than Oracle Indices ?

Database

Ans. Cassandra uses Hash Search which provides a look time of O(1) whereas Oracle Indices uses Binary Search that provide a lookup time of O(Log n).

_{Like Discuss Correct / Improve cassandra hash search hash search vs binary search}

Q849. How different is the Search algorithm when we query Cassandra Tables and When we query Oracle Tables ?

Cassandra

Ans. Relational Database uses linear search if we don't query using indices. Performance for linear search is O(n). If indices have been used , relational database uses binary search. Performance for binary search is O(Log n).

Casandra uses hash search. Performance for Hash Search is O(1).

Q866. What is meant by dirty object checking in hibernate ?

Hibernate

Ans. Dirty Checking is one of the features of hibernate. In dirty checking, hibernate automatically detects whether an object is modified (or) not and need to be updated.
