Follow the instructions below to create a data service using a Cassandra data-source.
First, create a simple keyspace and add some columns to work with. Here is the Cassandra-cli commands to perform this tasks:
| Code Block |
|---|
create keyspace Keyspace1;
use Keyspace1;
create column family USER with comparator=UTF8Type and key_validation_class=UTF8Type
and column_metadata=[{column_name: user_id, validation_class: UTF8Type, index_type: KEYS},
{column_name: username, validation_class: UTF8Type},
{column_name: password, validation_class: UTF8Type}];
set USER[user1][username]='dinusha';
set USER[user1][password]='mypwd';
