CDRS Build Status

CDRS is a native Cassandra driver written in Rust. The motivation to write it in Rust is a lack of native one. Existing ones are bindings to C clients.

Documentation

CDRS is under active development at the moment, so API may not be stable.

As well CDRS provides tools for mapping results into Rust structures It supports 4-th version of Cassandra protocol.

Examples

Creating new connection and authorization

To use password authenticator, just include the one implemented in cdrs::authenticators.

rust use cdrs::client::CDRS; use cdrs::authenticators::PasswordAuthenticator; use cdrs::transport::Transport;

After that you can create a new instance of CDRS and establish new connection:

```rust let authenticator = PasswordAuthenticator::new("user", "pass"); let addr = "127.0.0.1:9042"; let tcp_transport = Transport::new(addr).unwrap();

// pass authenticator and transport into CDRS' constructor let client = CDRS::new(tcp_transport, authenticator); use cdrs::compression; // start session without compression let mut session = try!(client.start(compression::None)); ```

If Server does not require authorization authenticator won't be used, but is still required for the constructor (most probably it will be refactored in future).

Creating new encrypted connection

To be able to create SSL-encrypted connection CDRS should be used with ssl feature enabled. Apart of CDRS itself openssl must also be imported.

```toml [dependencies] openssl = "0.9.6"

[dependencies.cdrs] version = "*" features = ["ssl"] ```

rust use cdrs::client::CDRS; use cdrs::authenticators::PasswordAuthenticator; use cdrs::transport_ssl::Transport; use openssl::ssl::{SslConnectorBuilder, SslMethod}; use std::path::Path;

After that you can create a new instance of CDRS and establish new connection:

```rust let authenticator = PasswordAuthenticator::new("user", "pass"); let addr = "127.0.0.1:9042";

// here needs to be a path of your SSL certificate let path = Path::new("./node0.cer.pem"); let mut sslconnectorbuilder = SslConnectorBuilder::new(SslMethod::tls()).unwrap(); sslconnectorbuilder.buildermut().setcafile(path).unwrap(); let connector = sslconnector_builder.build();

let ssl_transport = Transport::new(addr, &connector).unwrap();

// pass authenticator and SSL transport into CDRS' constructor let client = CDRS::new(ssl_transport, authenticator); ```

Connecting via r2d2 connection pool

There is an option to create r2d2 connection pool of CDRS connections both plain and SSL-encrypted:

```rust use cdrs::connection_manager::ConnectionManager;

let config = r2d2::Config::builder() .pool_size(15) .build(); let transport = Transport::new(ADDR).unwrap(); let authenticator = PasswordAuthenticator::new(USER, PASS); let manager = ConnectionManager::new(transport, authenticator, Compression::None);

let pool = r2d2::Pool::new(config, manager).unwrap();

for _ in 0..20 { let pool = pool.clone(); thread::spawn(move || { let conn = pool.get().unwrap(); // use the connection // it will be returned to the pool when it falls out of scope. }); }

```

There is a related example.

Getting supported options

Before session established an application may want to know which options are supported by a server (for instance to figure out which compression to use). That's why CDRS instance has a method get_options which could be called before session get started. Options are presented as HashMap<String, Vec<String>>.

rust let options = try!(client.get_options());

This should be called before session started to let you know which compression to choose and because session object borrows CDRS instance.

Using compression

Two types of compression are supported - snappy and lz4. To use compression just start connection with desired type:

rust // session without compression let mut session_res = client.start(compression::None); // session lz4 compression let mut session_res = client.start(compression::Lz4); // v with snappy compression let mut session_res = client.start(compression::Snappy);

Query execution

Query execution is provided in scope of Session. So to start executing queries you need to start Session first.

Use Query:

```rust

let usequerystring = String::from("USE mynamespace;"); let withtracing = false; let with_warnings = false;

match session.prepare(usequerystring, withtracing, withwarnings) { Ok(setkeyspace) => { // usekeyspace is a result frame of type SetKeyspace }, Err(err) => log!(err) } ```

Create Query:

Creating new table could be performed via session.query. In case of success method return Schema Change frame that contains Change Type, Target and options that contain namespace and a name of created table.

```rust use std::default::Default; use cdrs::client::{Query, QueryBuilder}; use cdrs::consistency::Consistency;

let mut selectquery: Query = QueryBuilder::new("CREATE TABLE keyspace.emp ( empID int, deptID int, firstname varchar, lastname varchar, PRIMARY KEY (empID, deptID) );") .consistency(Consistency::One) .finalize(); let withtracing = false; let with_warnings = false;

let tablecreated = session.query(selectquery, withtracing, withwarnings).is_ok();

```

Select Query:

As a response to select query CDRS returns a result frame of type Rows with data items (columns) encoded in Cassandra's way.

```rust use std::default::Default; use cdrs::client::Query; use cdrs::consistency::Consistency;

let mut selectquery: Query = QueryBuilder::new(usequery.clone()).finalize(); let withtracing = false; let withwarnings = false;

match session.query(selectquery, withtracing, withwarnings) { Ok(res) => println!("Result frame: {:?},\nparsed body: {:?}", res, res.getbody());, Err(err) => log!(err) } ```

Select Query (mapping results):

Once CDRS got response to SELECT query you can map rows encapsulated within Result frame into Rust values or into List, Map or UDT helper structures which provide a way to convert wrapped values into plain ones.

As an example let's consider a case when application gets a collection of messages of following format:

```rust

struct Message { pub author: String, pub text: String }

```

To get a collection of messages Vec<Message> let's convert a result of query into collection of rows Vec<cdrs::types::row::Row> and then convert each column into appropriate Rust type:

```rust use cdrs::error::{Result as CResult};

let resbody = parsed.getbody(); let rows = resbody.intorows().unwrap(); let messages: Vec> = rows .iter() .map(|row| Message { author: row.getbyname("author").unwrap(), text: row.getbyname("text").unwrap() }) .collect();

```

There is no difference between Cassandra's List and Sets in terms of Rust. They could be represented as Vec<T>. To convert a frame into a structure that contains a collection of elements do as follows:

```rust

struct Author { pub name: String, pub messages: Vec }

//... use cdrs::error::{Result as CResult}; let resbody = parsed.getbody(); let rows = resbody.intorows().unwrap(); let messages: Vec = rows .iter() .map(|row| { let name: String = row.getbyname("name").unwrap(); let messages: Vec = row // unwrap Option>, where T implements AsRust .getbyname("messages").unwrap().unwrap() .as_rust().unwrap(); return Author { author: name, text: messages }; }) .collect();

```
