Quick StartInstallation and Usage


Installation

gem 'cassandra-driver', '~> 1.0.0'

gem install cassandra-driver


Usage

8

require 'cassandra'

cluster = Cassandra.cluster

cluster.each_host do |h| puts "Host #{h.ip}: datacenter=#{h.datacenter} rack=#{h.rack}" end

keyspace = 'system' session = cluster.connect(keyspace)

future = session.execute_async('SELECT * FROM schema_columnfamilies')

future.on_success do |rows| rows.each do |row| puts “Table: #{row[‘keyspace_name']}.#{row['columnfamily_name']}" end end

future.join

future.then do |users| user = users.first future = session.execute_async(select_page, user[‘username'])

future.then do |pages| page = pages.first

User.new(user, Page.new(page)) end end end Cassandra::Future.all(futures).get
