Is Apache Cassandra not a good choice for aggregations?

Question

I read that cassandra would not provide sufficient possibilities for aggregations like SUM or AVG.

Actually I thought the column oriented model would be the most appropriate for these kind of operations.

I read many articles, but I am just not getting it. Besides the scalibility factor, what are then the best typical use cases for using cassandra?

Thank you!

• real time tracking and analytics workload
• time series based applications

• IoT applications
