Cassandra
Cassandra is a NoSQL distributed database known for its horizontal scalability, distributed architecture, and flexible schema definition.
About
Cassandra is a NoSQL distributed database. By design, NoSQL databases are lightweight, open-source, non-relational, and largely distributed. Counted among their strengths are horizontal scalability, distributed architectures, and a flexible approach to schema definition.
Available Tools
cassandra-cql
Run parameterized CQL queries in Cassandra.
Example
sources:
my-cassandra-source:
kind: cassandra
hosts:
- 127.0.0.1
keyspace: my_keyspace
protoVersion: 4
username: ${USER_NAME}
password: ${PASSWORD}
caPath: /path/to/ca.crt # Optional: path to CA certificate
certPath: /path/to/client.crt # Optional: path to client certificate
keyPath: /path/to/client.key # Optional: path to client key
enableHostVerification: true # Optional: enable host verification
Tip
Use environment variable replacement with the format ${ENV_NAME} instead of hardcoding your secrets into the configuration file.
Reference
| field | type | required | description |
|---|---|---|---|
| kind | string | true | Must be “cassandra”. |
| hosts | string[] | true | List of IP addresses to connect to (e.g., [“192.168.1.1:9042”, “192.168.1.2:9042”,“192.168.1.3:9042”]). The default port is 9042 if not specified. |
| keyspace | string | true | Name of the Cassandra keyspace to connect to (e.g., “my_keyspace”). |
| protoVersion | integer | false | Protocol version for the Cassandra connection (e.g., 4). |
| username | string | false | Name of the Cassandra user to connect as (e.g., “my-cassandra-user”). |
| password | string | false | Password of the Cassandra user (e.g., “my-password”). |
| caPath | string | false | Path to the CA certificate for SSL/TLS (e.g., “/path/to/ca.crt”). |
| certPath | string | false | Path to the client certificate for SSL/TLS (e.g., “/path/to/client.crt”). |
| keyPath | string | false | Path to the client key for SSL/TLS (e.g., “/path/to/client.key”). |
| enableHostVerification | boolean | false | Enable host verification for SSL/TLS (e.g., true). By default, host verification is disabled. |
