Installation
Make sure you have the DataStax PHP Driver for Apache Cassandra installed. You can find installation instructions at datastax repo.
Note: datastax php-driver works with php version 5.6.*, 7.0.* and 7.1.* only
Installation using composer
composer require shso/laravel-cassandra
And add the service provider in config/app.php:
# config/app.php
...
providers: [
...,
ShSo\Lacassa\CassandraServiceProvider::class,
...,
],
...
Configuration
Change your default database connection name in config/database.php:
# config/database.php
'default' => env('DB_CONNECTION', 'cassandra'),
And add a new cassandra connection:
# config/database.php
'cassandra' => [
'driver' => 'cassandra',
'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
'port' => env('DB_PORT', 9042),
'keyspace' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'cassandra_db'),
'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', ''),
'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
'page_size' => '5000',
'consistency' => 'local_one',
'timeout' => null,
'connect_timeout' => 5.0,
'request_timeout' => 12.0,
],
Note: you can enter all of your nodes like:
# .env
DB_HOST=192.168.100.140,192.168.100.141,192.168.100.142
Note: you can choose one of the consistency levels below:
any |
three |
local_qourum |
local_one |
one |
qourum |
each_qourum |
serial |
two |
all |
local_serial |
Query Builder
The database driver plugs right into the original query builder. When using cassandra connections, you will be able to build fluent queries to perform database operations.
$emp = DB::table('emp')->get();
$emp = DB::table('emp')->where('emp_name', 'Christy')->first();
If you did not change your default database connection, you will need to specify it on each query.
$emp = DB::connection('cassandra')->table('emp')->get();
Examples
Retrieving All Records
$emp = DB::table('emp')->all();
Indexing columns
CREATE INDEX
creates a new index on the given table for the named column.
DB::table('users')->index(['name']);
Selecting columns
$emp = DB::table('emp')->where('emp_no', '>', 50)->select('emp_name', 'emp_no')->get();
$emp = DB::table('emp')->where('emp_no', '>', 50)->get(['emp_name', 'emp_no']);
Wheres
The WHERE clause specifies which rows to query. In the WHERE clause, refer to a column using the actual name, not an alias. Columns in the WHERE clause need to meet one of these requirements:
-
The partition key definition includes the column.
-
A column that is indexed using
CREATE INDEX
.
$emp = DB::table('emp')->where('emp_no', '>', 50)->take(10)->get();
And Statements
$emp = DB::table('emp')->where('emp_no', '>', 50)->where('emp_name', '=', 'Christy')->get();
Using Where In With An Array
$emp = DB::table('emp')->whereIn('emp_no', [12, 17, 21])->get();
Order By
ORDER BY
clauses can select a single column only.
Ordering can be done in ascending or descending order,
default ascending, and specified with the ASC or DESC keywords.
In the ORDER BY
clause, refer to a column using the actual name, not the aliases.
$emp = DB::table('emp')->where('emp_name', 'Christy')->orderBy('emp_no', 'desc')->get();
Limit
We can use limit() and take() for limiting the query.
$emp = DB::table('emp')->where('emp_no', '>', 50)->take(10)->get();
$emp = DB::table('emp')->where('emp_no', '>', 50)->limit(10)->get();
Distinct
Distinct requires a primary key field for which to return the distinct values.
$emp = DB::table('emp')->distinct()->get(['emp_id']);
Distinct can be combined with where:
$emp = DB::table('emp')->where('emp_sal', 45000)->distinct()->get(['emp_name']);
Count
$number = DB::table('emp')->count();
Count can be combined with where:
$sal = DB::table('emp')->where('emp_sal', 45000)->count();
Truncate
$sal = DB::table('emp')->truncate();
Filtering a collection set, list, or map
You can index the collection column, and then use the CONTAINS condition in the WHERE clause to filter the data for a particular value in the collection.
$emp = DB::table('emp')->where('emp_name', 'contains', 'Christy')->get();
After indexing the collection keys in the venues map, you can filter on map keys.
$emp = DB::table('emp')->where('todo', 'contains key', '2014-10-02 06:30:00+0000')->get();
Raw Query
The CQL expressions can be injected directly into the query.
$emp = DB::raw('select * from emp');
Inserts, updates and deletes
Inserting, updating and deleting records works just like the original QB.
Insert
DB::table('emp')
->insertCollection('set', 'phn', [123, 1234, 12345])
->insertCollection('map', 'friends', [['John', 'Male'], ['Eli', 'Female']])
->insert([
'emp_id' => 11,
'emp_name' => 'Christy',
'emp_phone' => 12345676890,
'emp_sal' => 500
]);
Updating
To update a model, you may retrieve it, change an attribute, and use the update method.
DB::table('emp')
->where('emp_id', 11)
->update([
'emp_city' => 'kochi',
'emp_name' => 'Christy jos',
'emp_phone' => 123456789
]);
Updating a collection set, list, and map
Update collections in a row. The method will be like
updateCollection(collection_type, column_name, operator, value);
Collection_type is any of set, list or map.
Column_name is the name of column to be updated.
Operator is + or -, + for adding the values to collection and - to remove the value from collection.
Value can be associative array for map type and array of string/number for list and set types.
DB::table('users')->where('id', 1)
->updateCollection('set', 'phn', '+', [123, 1234,12345])->update();
DB::table('users')->where('id', 1)
->updateCollection('set', 'phn', '-', [123])->update();
DB::table('users')->where('id', 1)
->updateCollection('list', 'hobbies', '+', ['reading', 'cooking', 'cycling'])->update();
DB::table('users')->where('id', 1)
->updateCollection('set', 'phn', '+', [123, 1234,12345])->update();
DB::table('users')->where('id', 1)
->updateCollection('set', 'phn', '-', [123])->update();
DB::table('users')->where('id', 1)
->updateCollection('list', 'hobbies', '+', ['reading', 'cooking', 'cycling'])->update();
DB::table('users')->where('id', 1)
->updateCollection('list', 'hobbies', '-', ['cooking'])->update();
DB::table('users')->where('id', 1)
->updateCollection('map', 'friends', '+', [['John', 'Male'], ['Rex', 'Male']])->update();
DB::table('users')->where('id', 1)
->updateCollection('map', 'friends', '-', ['John'])->update();
DB::table('users')->where('id', 1)
->updateCollection('map', 'friends', '+', [['John', 'Male'], ['Rex', 'Male']])->update();
DB::table('users')->where('id', 1)
->updateCollection('map', 'friends', '-', ['John'])->update();
Deleting
To delete a model, simply call the delete method on the instance. We can delete the rows in a table by using deleteRow method:
$emp = DB::table('emp')->where('emp_city', 'Kochi')->deleteRow();
We can also perform delete by the column in a table using deleteColumn method:
$emp = DB::table('emp')->where('emp_id', 3)->deleteColumn();
Testing
I have created a docker container which has php7.0 and cassandra php driver installed. It is prefered to use docker for testing purposes.
Also there is a run
executable which is there to ease use of docker
container. It checks everything and makes sure all dependancies and the
cassandra server are up and running and then passes your command to the
container.
