This Play Framework 2 sample application shows how to access Cassandra from Scala using the Quill and its asynchronous capabilities.. Pillar is used as evolution
At first you should start Cassandra, you can just use the provided Vagrantfile (using the ) for this. If you haven't already installed Vagrant, head over to the Vagrant Installation page and get Vagrant.
The Vagrantfile uses the xenial64 image, which you have to download once:
$ vagrant init ubuntu/xenial64After that you can boot the vagrant box that will install Cassandra on its first start.
$ cd vagrant
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant provisionAs with every Play 2 application, just use play run.
On the first start some data is inserted into Cassandra, in our case we're working with songs. To retrieve the list of stored songs point your browser to localhost:9000.
To insert another song you have to POST some json, here's how to do this with curl:
$ curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"title":"The Unforgiven","album":"Black Album","artist":"Metallica"}' \
http://localhost:9000You should get 201/Created as response status and a Location header that tells you which resource was created for the new Song.
The hostname/IP address of the Cassandra cluster is configured in conf/application.conf. Right now only a single node is supported, this could easily be extended to take a list of nodes.
The configuration is evaluated in app/Global.scala, which creates the SimpleClient to connect to Cassandra.
