Cassandra

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 are the Cassandra-cli commands to perform this tasks:

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';

1. Log on to the product's management console and select "Data Service -> Create" under the "Main" menu.

2. The Create Data Service page appears. Fill in the fields and click Next. The Data Service name is mandatory.

3. The Data Sources page appears. Click on the Add New Data Source link and add your Data Source details. Then click Save.

For a Cassandra data source, select the data source type as Cassandra. For example,

4. After saving, the added data source page appears. You can edit or delete the Data Source. To proceed click Next.

5. The Queries page appears. Initially your service does not include any queries. Click on 'Add New Query' to add a new query, input/output mappings, events etc. to your Data Service.

To extract information you need to create a query relevant to the structure of the response. Give a name to the query, and select the data source which was created in the previous step. Specify the CQL query and parameters and click Save. For example,

Query ID : getUsers

Data Source : CassandraDatasource

CQL : select 'key', 'username', 'password' from USER

To define how the output looks like, click the Add Output Mapping button. For example,

For information on adding validations to input mappings in the query, if any, refer to section Input Validators. Once you have entered the output mapping details, click on Main Configuration and then the Save button.

6. You have added one query to your data service configuration. You can edit or delete your query. To continue, click Next.

7. The Operations page appears. Click the Add new operation link to create an operation. Select a query to be executed when this operation is called. For example,

Click Save once done.

8. The Data Service configuration is done. Click Finish. (You can continue to add resources by clicking the Next button if you like)

9. You will be navigated to the Deployed Services page where the data service is listed.

From here, you can manage your data service. For instructions, refer to section "Service Management."
