salt.modules.cassandra_cql

Cassandra Database Module

New in version 2015.5.0.

This module works with Cassandra v2 and v3 and hence generates queries based on the internal schema of said version.

configuration

The Cassandra cluster members and connection port can either be specified in the master or minion config, the minion's pillar or be passed to the module.

Example configuration in the config for a single node:

cassandra:
  cluster: 192.168.50.10
  port: 9000

Example configuration in the config for a cluster:

cassandra:
  cluster:
    - 192.168.50.10
    - 192.168.50.11
    - 192.168.50.12
  port: 9000
  username: cas_admin

Changed in version 2016.11.0.

Added support for ssl_options and protocol_version.

Example configuration with ssl options:

If ssl_options are present in cassandra config the cassandra_cql returner will use SSL. SSL isn't used if ssl_options isn't specified.

cassandra:
  cluster:
    - 192.168.50.10
    - 192.168.50.11
    - 192.168.50.12
  port: 9000
  username: cas_admin

  ssl_options:
    ca_certs: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt

    # SSL version should be one from the ssl module
    # This is an optional parameter
    ssl_version: PROTOCOL_TLSv1

Additionally you can also specify the protocol_version to use.

cassandra:
  cluster:
    - 192.168.50.10
    - 192.168.50.11
    - 192.168.50.12
  port: 9000
  username: cas_admin

  # defaults to 4, if not set
  protocol_version: 3
salt.modules.cassandra_cql.cql_query(query, contact_points=None, port=None, cql_user=None, cql_pass=None)

Run a query on a Cassandra cluster and return a dictionary.

  • contact_points (str | list[str]) -- The Cassandra cluster addresses, can either be a string or a list of IPs.

  • cql_user (str) -- The Cassandra user if authentication is turned on.

  • cql_pass (str) -- The Cassandra user password if authentication is turned on.

  • port (int) -- The Cassandra cluster port, defaults to None.

  • params (str) -- The parameters for the query, optional.

Returns

A dictionary from the return values of the query

Return type

list[dict]

CLI Example:

# Insert data asynchronously
salt this-node cassandra_cql.cql_query_with_prepare "name_insert" "INSERT INTO USERS (first_name, last_name) VALUES (?, ?)"             statement_arguments=['John','Doe'], asynchronous=True

# Select data, should not be asynchronous because there is not currently a facility to return data from a future
