Cassandra Client API

Cassandra Client API

There are multiple client api available for Cassandra Training. However the preferred interface to Cassandra 1.2 and 2.0 is CQL. Earlier it used to be thrift.
List of all available Cassandra clients can be found at
https://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ClientOptions#CQL
Briefly we would talk about Java cql. Source code is self explanatory

import com.datastax.driver.core.Session;
import com.datastax.driver.core.Statement;
import com.datastax.driver.core.querybuilder.QueryBuilder;
 
public class CassandraCliClientExample {
static void main(String[] args) {
// Connect to the cluster and keyspace "library"
Cluster cluster = Cluster.builder().addContactPoint("localhost")
.build();

// Insert one record into the customer table
session.execute("INSERT INTO customer (lastname, age, city, email, firstname)
VALUES ('Ram', 35, 'Delhi', '[email protected]', 'Shree')");
