Since Cassandra is a mix between Amazon Dynamo and Google BigTable I suggest you go ahead and read the research papers about these systems:
- Dynamo: Amazon’s Highly Available Key-value Store
- Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data
Read the Dynamo paper first. Concepts like Quorum, Read Repair, Eventual Consistency, etc. are explained very well there. After that read the Big Table paper. If you don't understand some of the terms used in these papers go ahead an google for them.
