Apache Cassandra is a highly scalable, high-performance distributed database designed to handle large amounts of data across many commodity servers, providing high availability with no single point of failure. It is a type of NoSQL database.
In several cases you will find cassandra accepting any credentials (as there aren't any configured) and you will be able to enumerate the database.

#Basic info enumeration
SELECT cluster_name, thrift_version, data_center, partitioner, native_protocol_version, rack, release_version from system.local;
#Keyspace enumeration
SELECT keyspace_name FROM system.schema_keyspaces;
desc <Keyspace_name> #Decribe that DB
desc system_auth #Describe the DB called system_auth
SELECT * from system_auth.roles; #Retreive that info, can contain credential hashes
