An Elixir driver for Apache Cassandra.
This driver works with Cassandra Query Language version 3 (CQL3) and Cassandra's native protocol v4.
## Features
* Automatic peer discovery
* Configurable load-balancing/retry/reconnection policies
* Ecto like Repo supervisor
* Asynchronous execution through Tasks
* Prepared statements with named and position based values
* Batch statement
## Todo
* [ ] Token based load-balancing policy
* [ ] Compression
* [ ] Authentication and SSL encryption
* [ ] User Defined Types
* [ ] Use prepared `result_metadata` optimization
## Installation
Add `cassandra` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[{:cassandra, "~> 1.0.0-beta.1"}]
end
```
## Quick Start
```elixir
defmodule Repo do
use Cassandra
end
{:ok, _} = Repo.start_link
# uses "127.0.0.1:9042" as contact point by default
# discovers other nodes on first connection
{:ok, _} = Repo.execute """
CREATE KEYSPACE IF NOT EXISTS test
WITH replication = {'class':'SimpleStrategy','replication_factor':1};
""", consistency: :all
{:ok, _} = Repo.execute """
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS test.users (
id timeuuid,
name varchar,
age int,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
""", consistency: :all
{:ok, insert} = Repo.prepare """
INSERT INTO test.users (id, name, age) VALUES (now(), ?, ?);
"""
users = [
%{name: "Bilbo", age: 50},
%{name: "Frodo", age: 33},
%{name: "Gandolf", age: 2019},
]
users
|> Enum.map(&Task.async(fn -> Repo.execute(insert, values: &1, consistency: :all) end))
|> Enum.map(&Task.await/1)
|> Enum.each(&IO.inspect(&1))
{:ok, rows} = Repo.execute("SELECT * FROM test.users;", consistency: :all)
# {:ok,
# %CQL.Result.Rows{
# columns: ["id", "age", "name"],
# rows_count: 3,
# rows: [
# ["831e5df2-a0e1-11e6-b9af-6d2c86545d91", 2019, "Gandolf"],
# ["831e5df1-a0e1-11e6-b9af-6d2c86545d91", 33, "Frodo"],
