This is not meant for production use. It's just an example. I've left out lots of important stuff that's not required for the example. The purpose of this application is to demonstrate what's required to talk to cassandra from Erlang via its Thrift interface.
The API Document contains all of the data types and methods. The data types are generated as record definitions via thrift code generation, see cassandra/cassandra_types.hrl
.
Things that it does:
- Connects to cassandra
- Reads records
get
- Writes records
batch_mutate
Things that it doesn't do:
- Connection problem handling
- Connection pooling
- Handle race conditions around token generation
Implementation notes:
- Use
framed
mode for Cassandra 0.7 or greater - Do not use
framed
mode for Cassandra 0.6 or below - The
map
type in the Cassandra IDL expects an Erlangdict
type - See
cassandra_types.hrl
for all of the types defined to match the IDL - See
etiny:url_for_token/2
for an example of loading data - See
etiny:token_for_stored_url/3
for an example of storing data
