    • In Cassandra, the keyspace is the container for your application data, similar to a schema in a relational database. Keyspaces are used to group column families together. Typically, a cluster has one keyspace per application.

      Replication is controlled on a per-keyspace basis, so data that has different replication requirements should reside in different keyspaces. Keyspaces are not designed to be used as a significant map layer within the data model, only as a way to control data replication for a set of column families.
