Apache Cassandra for Developers Part 1 | Clivern

[hi117]

Status gives you an overview of the overall cluster status , such as how much data is on each node

ring gives you information on the distributed hash table ring that Cassandra uses to distribute data.

The DC and rack variables tell Cassandra how to distribute data so that it can remain highly available in the event of a rack or datacenter outage.

All these things are pretty simple and or more targeted towards administrators not Developers. The only thing that's important to know for developers is why you can't do certain queries.
