Cassandra on Fedora 27
The last time that I installed Cassandra was on a version of Fedora 20. So, I new the first thing to check was the installation of Java. You can check the Java installation with two statements on a fresh installation of Fedora 27. You need to check the Java runtime and then the Java Software Development Kit before installing, starting, and using Cassandra.
Installing Prerequisites
You check the Java runtime with this command:
java -version |
It should return:
openjdk version "1.8.0_171" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_171-b10) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.171-b10, mixed mode) |
You check the Java Software Development Kit (JSDK) with this command:
javac -version |
It should return:
javac 1.8.0_171 |
After verifying the Java and JSDK installation, you can install the Cassandra packages with the following yum command as the root user or a user with sudoer privileges:
yum install -y *cassandra* |
You should see a successful installation log like:

Starting Cassandra
After you install Cassandra, you can start it as any sudoer user with the following syntax:
sudo cassandra -R |
Using Cassandra
You can connect to the Cassandra server with the cqlsh client software. You use the following syntax:
cqlsh |
You should see the Cassandra version information, and then you can type help at the cqlsh> prompt to see the available commands:
Connected TO Test Cluster at 127.0.0.1:9042.

Here’s my script that creates Cassandra keyspace, which is more or less a database. You use the USE command to connect to the keyspace or database, like you would in MySQL. You do not have sequences in Cassandra because they’re not a good fit for a distributed architecture. Cassandra does not support a native procedural extension like relational databases. You must create User-defined functions (UDFs) by embedding the logic in Java.
This script does the following:
- Creates a keyspace
- Uses the keyspace
- Conditionally drops tables and functions
- Creates two tables
- Inserts data into the two tables
- Queries data from the tables
I also included a call to a UDF inside a query in two of the examples. One of the queries demonstrates how to return a JSON structure from a query. To simplify things and provide clarification of the scripts behaviors, the details are outlined below.
- The first segment of the script creates the keyspace, changes the scope to use the keyspace, conditionally drop tables, create tables, and insert values into the tables:
/* Create a keyspace in Cassandra, which is like a database in MySQL or a schema in Oracle. */ CREATE KEYSPACE IF NOT EXISTS student WITH REPLICATION = { 'class':'SimpleStrategy' ,'replication_factor': 1 } AND DURABLE_WRITES = true; /* Use the keyspace or connect to the database. */ USE student; /* Drop the member table from the student keyspace. */ DROP TABLE IF EXISTS member; /* Create a member table in the student keyspace. */ CREATE TABLE member ( member_number VARCHAR , member_type VARCHAR , credit_card_number VARCHAR , credit_card_type VARCHAR , PRIMARY KEY ( member_number )); /* Conditionally drop the contact table from the student keyspace. */ DROP TABLE IF EXISTS contact; /* Create a contact table in the student keyspace. */ CREATE TABLE contact ( contact_number VARCHAR , contact_type VARCHAR , first_name VARCHAR , middle_name VARCHAR , last_name VARCHAR , member_number VARCHAR , PRIMARY KEY ( contact_number )); /* Insert a row into the member table. */ INSERT INTO member ( member_number, member_type, credit_card_number, credit_card_type ) VALUES ('SFO-12345','GROUP','2222-4444-5555-6666','VISA'); /* Insert a row into the contact table. */ INSERT INTO contact ( contact_number, contact_type, first_name, middle_name, last_name, member_number ) VALUES ('CUS_00001','FAMILY','Barry', NULL,'Allen','SFO-12345'); /* Insert a row into the contact table. */ INSERT INTO contact ( contact_number, contact_type, first_name, middle_name, last_name, member_number ) VALUES ('CUS_00002','FAMILY','Iris', NULL,'West-Allen','SFO-12345'); /* Insert a row into the member table. */ INSERT INTO member ( member_number, member_type, credit_card_number, credit_card_type ) VALUES ('SFO-12346','GROUP','3333-8888-9999-2222','VISA'); /* Insert a row into the contact table. */ INSERT INTO contact ( contact_number, contact_type, first_name, middle_name, last_name, member_number ) VALUES ('CUS_00003','FAMILY','Caitlin','Marie','Snow','SFO-12346');
- The following queries the member table:
/* Select all columns from the member table. */ SELECT * FROM member;
It returns the following:
member_number | credit_card_number | credit_card_type | member_type ---------------+---------------------+------------------+------------- SFO-12345 | 2222-4444-5555-6666 | VISA | GROUP SFO-12346 | 3333-8888-9999-2222 | VISA | GROUP
- Create a
concatenateUser-defined function (UDF) for Cassandra. The first step requires you to edit thecassandra.yamlfile, which you find in the/etc/cassandra/default.confdirectory. There is a single parameter that you need to edit, and it is theenable_user_defined_functionsparameter. By default the parameter is set tofalse, and you need to enable it to create UDFs.After you make the edit, the
cassandra.yamlfile should look like this:1089 1090 1091 1092 1093
# If unset, all GC Pauses greater than gc_log_threshold_in_ms will log at # INFO level # UDFs (user defined functions) are disabled by default. # As of Cassandra 3.0 there is a sandbox in place that should prevent execution of evil code. enable_user_defined_functions: true
After you make the change, you can create your own UDF. The following UDF formats the first, middle, and last name so there’s only one whitespace between the first and last name when there middle name value is null.
This type of function must use a
CALLED ON NULL INPUTclause in lieu of aRETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUTclause. The latter would force the function to return a null value if any one of the parameters were null./* Drop the concatenate function because a replace disallows changing a RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT with a CALLED ON NULL INPUT without raising an "89: InvalidRequest" exception. */ DROP FUNCTION concatenate; /* Create a user-defined function to concatenate names. */ CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION concatenate (first_name VARCHAR, middle_name VARCHAR, last_name VARCHAR) CALLED ON NULL INPUT RETURNS VARCHAR LANGUAGE java AS $$ /* Concatenate first and last names when middle name is null, and first, middle, and last names when middle name is not null. */ String name; /* Check for null middle name. */ if (middle_name == null) { name = first_name + " " + last_name; } else { name = first_name + " " + middle_name + " " + last_name; } return name; $$;
- Query the values from the
contacttable with the UDF function in theSELECT-list:/* Query the contact information. */ SELECT member_number , contact_number , contact_type , concatenate(first_name, middle_name, last_name) AS full_name FROM contact;
It returns the following:
member_number | contact_number | contact_type | full_name ---------------+----------------+--------------+-------------------- SFO-12345 | CUS_00001 | FAMILY | Barry Allen SFO-12345 | CUS_00002 | FAMILY | Iris West-Allen SFO-12346 | CUS_00003 | FAMILY | Caitlin Marie Snow
- Query the values from the
contacttable with a JSON format:/* Query the contact information and return in a JSON format. */ SELECT JSON contact_number , contact_type , concatenate(first_name, middle_name, last_name) AS full_name FROM contact;
It returns the following:
[json] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- {"contact_number": "CUS_00001", "contact_type": "FAMILY", "full_name": "Barry Allen"} {"contact_number": "CUS_00002", "contact_type": "FAMILY", "full_name": "Iris West-Allen"} {"contact_number": "CUS_00003", "contact_type": "FAMILY", "full_name": "Caitlin Marie Snow"}
You can call the script from a relative directory inside cqlsh, like this:
SOURCE 'cstudent.cql' |
At the end of the day, the concept of adding and removing nodes is attractive. Though, the lack of normal relational mechanics and narrowly supported set of CQL semantics leaves me with open questions. For example, is clustering without a coordinator really valuable enough to settle for eventual, or tunable, consistency with such a narrowly scoped query language?
As always, I hope this helps those looking for a quick how-to on Cassandra.
