Re: Unable to add columns to empty row in Column family: Cassandra
Thank you Narendra/Aaron. Sorry for late respponse. PFB further information on this. 1) How do you delete the data in the cli ? Is it a row delete e.g. del MyCF['my-key']; *[Anuya]:* Yeach. Exactly the same way. 2) What client are you using the insert the row the second time ? e.g. custom thrift wrapper or pycassa *[Anuya]:* I am using Thrift APIs in JAVA code directly. No high level Cassandra client. I am using Cassandra client's INSERT and REMOVE methods to insert and delete rows programmatically. 3) How is the second read done, via the cli ? *[Anuya]:* Operations are as follows: 1) INSERT #1: Programmatically 2) DELETE #1: Command line 3) INSERT #2: Programmatically A READ opeation, after each of the above steps, is done using CLI 4) Does the same test work when you only use your app ? *[Anuya]:* Exactly, INSERT - DELETE - INSERT scenario with same row key works well if executed only from command line OR only programmatically. Basically, over here, I am trying to resuse the row key. So, I create a row with a specific key, delete that row (But, Cassandra delete does not delete a row key. Only deletes all columns in a row.) and then I want to insert the columns in a same row with same row id. Correct me if I go wrong, reusing the row key should work as per Cassandra data model definition/structure. 5) Cassandra-cli will be using the current time as it's time stamp for the delete. If I had to guess what was happening it would be a problem with the timestamps your app is creating. *[Anuya]:* Well, regarding timestamps.. My JAVA code to generate timstamps is simply: System.currentTimeMillis(); So, I also use current time as a timestamp similar to Cassandra as you mentioned. Then, irrespective of which client was used for insert/delete operations, this INSERT - DELETE - INSERT scenario should work. Because, as per the sequence of these operations (INSERT - DELETE - INSERT) the timestamp condition *TS[INSERT #2] TS[DELETE #1] TS[INSERT #1] will be obviously satisfied. * ** But, the fact is, this scenario does not work while switching between clients for INSERT and DELETE opeations as mentioned in point #3 above. So, is this a clock synchronization issue? I mean the clock used by program to generate timstamps is out of sync with clock used by CLI? On this, FYI, I am running linux based VMs which in turn run a Cassandra servers. The command line client is obviously on VM and the JAVA program is on host machine running a VM. If the clocks of these two machines are in sync then, I think, switching between clients should not matter? Before I hit the send button, :), I scrutinized the clocks on VM and host m/c. The clock on VM is exactly 4 seconds behind the clock on host m/c. I welcome your comments on above.
