Re: Are Writes disk-bound rather than CPU-bound?

2013-07-23 Thread Alex Popescu
I see pretty much the same formulation in the 1.2 docs, so I'm wondering
what would be the best rewrite of that paragraph?

2013-08-09 Thread Alex Popescu
DevCenter is using the new java driver [1] which works only with CQL3 and
the binary protocol so older C*/DSE version will not be supported. I know
that upgrading your cluster just to be able to use DevCenter doesn't make
sense, but hopefully features in the 1.2 and 2.0 will justify the upgrade
;-)

We haven't figured this part yet. DevCenter is still in its infancy and
we'll be experimenting with different approaches/technologies to allow us
to build the features we imagined for it. Having the code in the open right
now doesn't make too much sense.

I think PreparedStatements should almost always be the recommended way (no
stringification, performance, etc.).  Except maybe statements that you are

According to the OP batching inserts is slow. The SO thread [1] mentions
that the in their environment BATCH takes 1.5min, while the Thrift-based
approach is around 235millis.

Re: CQL Tables in Cassandra with an Index

2013-11-08 Thread Alex Popescu
Conditional inserts/updates (lightweight transactions) are available only
in C* 2.0+.

Also most of the time you should try to think about alternative ways to
solve the problem and rely on these only if you cannot find a different
solution (the reason for this is that they come with performance penalties
and you'd be better off with a scalable & performant design, rather than
taking the easy way out ;-)

Re: How to retrieve snappy compressed data from Cassandra using Datastax?

2014-01-28 Thread Alex Popescu
Wouldn't you be better to delegate the compression part to Cassandra (which
support Snappy [1])? This way the compression part will be completely
transparent to your application.

Re: Driver documentation questions

2014-03-12 Thread Alex Popescu
While this is a question that would fit better on the Java driver group
[1], I'll try to provide a very short answer:

1. Cluster is an long-lived object and the application should have only 1
instance
2. Session is also a long-lived object and you should try to have 1 Session
per keyspace.

A session manages connection pools  for nodes in the cluster and it's
an expensive resource.

2.1. In case your application uses a lot of keyspaces, then you should
try to limit the number of Sessions and use fully qualified identifiers

3. PreparedStatements should be prepared only once.

Session and PreparedStatements are thread-safe and should be shared across
your app.

Re: DataStax Devcenter CQL3 version vs Cassandra vrs

2014-03-28 Thread Alex Popescu
DevCenter 1.0 is the Java driver 1.0 to connect to your cluster. This
version of the driver doesn't support C* 2.0 with its latest CQL version.
Now you'll still be able to connect to a C* 2.0 cluster, but your queries
will actually need to be compatible with C* 1.2 (basically none of the
new CQL features will work).

On the bright side, we're working on updating DevCenter to use the Java
driver 2.0 which supports both C* 1.2 and 2.0 (and their corresponding
CQL versions).

Re: Production Ready/Stable DataStax Java Driver

2016-05-08 Thread Alex Popescu
Hi Anuj,

All released versions of the DataStax Java driver are production ready:

1. they all go through the complete QA cycle
2. we merge all bug fixes and improvements upstream.

Now, if you are asking which is currently the most deployed version, that's
2.1 (latest version 2.1.10.1 [1]).

If you want to be ready for future Cassandra upgrades and benefit of the
latest features of the Java driver, then
that's the 3.0 branch (latest version 3.0.1 [2]).

Last but not least, you should also consider when making the decision that
our current focus and main development
goes into the 3.x branch and that the 2.1 is in maintenance mode (meaning
that no new features will be added and it
will only see critical bug fixes).

Bottom line, if your application is not already developed against the 2.1
version of the Java driver, you should use
the latest 3.0 release.

Hi Anuj,

Both Apache Cassandra and the DataStax drivers are evolving fast with
significant improvements across the board. While we support and provide the
latest and greatest, we do also support the users that are already in
production and allow them enough time to upgrade. Major release are
sometimes introducing breaking changes. That's unfortunate but sometimes
the only way we can push things forward.

I do agree with your assessment 1000% that if starting now, the best
version to go with is the latest on the 3.0 branch.

Re: python cql driver - cassandra.ReadTimeout - “Operation timed out - received only 1 responses.”

2014-06-02 Thread Alex Popescu
If I'm reading this correctly, what you are seeing is the read_timeout on
Cassandra side and not the client side timeout. Even if you set the client
side timeouts, the C* read & write timeouts are still respected on that
side.

There's no JDBC driver for C* 2.x, though we might create a wrapper over
the Java driver at some point. It should be noted
that due to the richer data types in C* there will be limitations with such
a JDBC driver.

Accessing C* is done over the CQL protocol. Creating a RESTful API that is
crafted for your application needs will deliver
much better results than a generic interface. This would make things a lot
more complicated on C* side
and could potentially expose your data to security risks.

Re: Named Parameters in Prepared Statement

2014-09-22 Thread Alex Popescu
Yes, you can bind parameters by name:

```
INSERT INTO songs (id, title, album, artist) VALUES (:id, :title, :album,
:artist)
```

All DataStax drivers for Cassandra support this feature. In Java it looks
like

// prepare only once
PreparedStatememt pstmt = session.prepare("INSERT INTO songs (id, title,
album, artist) VALUES (:id, :title, :album, :artist)")

// later
BoundStatement stmt = new BoundStatement(pstmt);
stmt.setLong("id", 1234);
stmt.setString("title", "Example title");

Re: DevCenter and Cassandra 2.1

2014-09-26 Thread Alex Popescu
Hi Andrew,

DevCenter has a complete CQL parser inside which helps with the offline
validations and suggestions. So the bad news is that it requires a new
version for every CQL grammar change.
The good news is that this wait is not going to be too long (I cannot talk
yet about a specific release date, but it's getting there).

If you are using the Java driver, you can retrieve the version of Cassandra
for each Host:

Re: Connecting to Cassandra cluster in AWS from local network

2015-04-20 Thread Alex Popescu
You'll have to configure your nodes to:

1. use AWS internal IPs for inter-node connection (check listen_address)
and
2. use the AWS public IP for client-to-node connections (check rpc_address)

Depending on the setup, there might be other interesting conf options in
cassandra.yaml (broadcast_address, listen_interface, rpc_interface).

Depending on the data model and the queries your application will use,
you'll be using either clustering columns or collections (or a
combination). If you need help modeling, you could start a new thread with
the relevant details and I'm pretty sure you'll get some good suggestions

drivers [1] and there are also community maintained drivers [2]

The DataStax C# driver has been used in production for quite a while by
numerous users. It is the most up-to-date, feature rich, and
tunable C# driver for Apache Cassandra and DataStax Enterprise.

Anyways, if there's anything missing we are always happy to improve it.

(as you can see from my sig, I do work for DataStax, but the above is very

1. The MaxPermSize is just a warning.

2. This is the first time I've seen that error. Search revealed this
StackOverflow thread

Re: Cassandra 3.0.0 connection problem

2015-11-20 Thread Alex Popescu
Hi Enrico,

As Tyler mentioned, Cassandra 3.0 introduced some major changes to the
system tables, which are critical to the way DataStax drivers work, that
prevented drivers to connect. We are addressing these changes as fast as we
can, but for the PHP driver we need to firstly update the underlying C/C++
driver and this is already being worked on. I don't have yet a time-frame
to share though, but we know how important it is to have these out as soon
as possible.

Thanks for your understanding

You'll have better chances to get an answer on the
spark-cassandra-connector mailing list
https://groups.google.com/a/lists.datastax.com/forum/#!forum/spark-connector-user
or on IRC #spark-cassandra-connector

Oleg,

I'll apologize in advance if my answer will sound initially harsh. I've
been following your questions (mostly because I find them interesting), but
I've never jumped to answer any of them as I confess not knowing the
purpose of your research/report makes me caution (e.g. are you doing this
for your current employer evaluating the future use of the product? are you
doing this for an analyst company? are you planning to sell this report?
etc. etc).

Re: Cassandra driver class

2016-01-29 Thread Alex Popescu
I think both of those options expect a JDBC driver, while the DataStax Java
driver is not one.

As a side note, if you'd provide a more detailed description of the setup
you want to get and post it to the Java driver mailing list
https://groups.google.com/a/lists.datastax.com/forum/#!forum/java-driver-user,
chances of getting an answer will be higher.

All DataStax drivers for Cassandra provide the node discovery feature and
are aware of the cluster topology.

Using DevCenter will give you some of these features (and future versions
will add more). Just to give you a quick example, if using DevCenter to
make schema changes it will offer the options of saving the final
definition or just the set of changes applied (to an existing CQL file or a
new one).
