Re: Define keyspaces in cassandra 0.7
Here is a snippet out of some of my test code to try, I cut out most of the
irrellevant bits, hope it works for you... (the original code worked
here :-)
TSocket socket = new TSocket("localhost", 9160);
TTransport transport;
transport = socket;
TBinaryProtocol binaryProtocol = new TBinaryProtocol(transport,
false, false);
Cassandra.Client thriftClient = new
Cassandra.Client(binaryProtocol);
transport.open();
Set keyspaces = thriftClient.describe_keyspaces();
if (!keyspaces.contains(KEYSPACE))
{
List cfDefs = new ArrayList();
thriftClient.system_add_keyspace(new KsDef(KEYSPACE,
"org.apache.cassandra.locator.RackUnawareStrategy", 1, cfDefs));
}
thriftClient.set_keyspace(KEYSPACE);
Map >
cfs=thriftClient.describe_keyspace(KEYSPACE);
String columnFamily = "MyCf";
CfDef cfDef = new CfDef(KEYSPACE, columnFamily);
cfDef.column_type="Super";
cfDef.comparator_type="TimeUUIDType";
thriftClient.system_add_column_family(cfDef);

I just realized that I didn't answer the "how" part of your question. :) http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/trunk/contrib/py_stress/stress.py and http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra/trunk/test/system/__init__.py both contain examples of how to use the system_* methods to manipulate keyspaces.

Re: Define keyspaces in cassandra 0.7
Defining at runtime is, very intentionally, an absolute must. It would have been very simple and perhaps user-friendly to add a flag that loads the schema specified in yaml when cassandra starts up. I decided against it when implementing the feature because I figured it would have been a disservice if users were constantly over-writing existing schema unintentionally. Gary.

Define keyspaces in cassandra 0.7
Hi all, Can someone post an example of how to define keyspaces in Cassandra 0.7? My initial Cassandra node does not load the keyspaces defined at Cassandra.yaml. Is there a way to define the keyspaces at startup or is runtime defining an absolute must? thanks, BoriS
