This is Perl module perlcassa. VERSION v0.03 INSTALLATION perlcassa can be installed by doing the usual: $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make install DESCRIPTION perlcassa is a native Perl client for interfacing with Apache Cassandra. It is essentially an API for Apache Thrift. It intelligently deals with CompositeType columns and ValidationClasses and encodes and packs them appropriately for the columnfamily specified. Note: This package does not support SuperColumns. Please look into CompositeType Comparators instead. DOCUMENTATION Documentation is light at this time and will be improved in the next version. For now please refer to the documentation available in POD format or look through the examples in the examples folder. SYNOPOSIS my $obj = new perlcassa( 'columnfamily' => 'myCF', 'keyspace' => 'myKeyspace', 'hosts' => ['host1.cassandra.local', 'host2.cassandra.local', 'host3.cassandra.local'], #optional 'write_consistency_level' => Cassandra::ConsistencyLevel::QUORUM, 'read_consistency_level' => Cassandra::ConsistencyLevel::QUORUM, 'port' => '9160' ); my %composite = ('values' => ['name_pt1', 'name_pt2']); $obj->insert( 'key' => 'myKey', 'columnname' => \%composite, 'value' => 'myVal' ); $obj->get( 'key' => 'myKey', 'columnname' => 'myColumn' ); $obj->get_slice( 'key' => 'myKey', 'start' => ['name_pt1'], 'finish' => ['name_pt2','name_pt2_c'], 'start_equality' => 'equal', #optional (defaults to equal, options: equal, less_than_equal, or greater_than_equal) 'finish_equality'=> 'greater_than_equal' #optional (defaults to greater_than_equal, options: equal, less_than_equal, or greater_than_equal) ); $obj->get_range_slices( key_start => '', key_finish => '', column_start => ['colpt1','a'], column_finish => ['thiscol'], key_max_count => 10000, buffer_size => 100 ); my %bulk = ( #value => [columnname] 'test' => ['name_pt1', 'name_pt2'], 'test2' => ['name_pt3', 'name_pr4'] ); $obj->bulk_insert( 'key' => 'testkey' 'columns' => \%bulk ); TODO * better documentation * better handling thrift exceptions to try from another provided Cassandra instance/host automagically * general performance optimizations * auto retry failures where the node is up when the client is created but there is an exception such as a timeout on insert COPYRIGHT & LICENSE Copyright 2012 Michael Kjellman Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.
