Leave a comment

Version 1.16 of Cassandra Universal Driver has been released

cassandradriver-sample_www_form-with-host-port-path-cud

New

  • Added the ability to query another C.U.D. server, path and port in sample client_samples/php/sample_www_form.php
  • Added the ability to specify the Cassandra port in sample client_samples/php/sample_www_form.php
  • client_samples/php/sample_www_form.php checks if the simplexml_load_file returned false, what means that the XML responded by the driver had a problem/was malformed. This doesn’t have to happen but it is trapped just in case. That case could happen if the cud.py had an exception and returned a malformed XML file.
  • simple_deploy.sh checks for the existence of the files before trying to copy

Bug Fix

  • Fixed a small bug with type conversion when server can’t connect to port
Driver release

V.1.15

This release only deletes the files from Datastax python driver.

After the comments of one of their Engineers I prefer to remove all their files from my Open Source solution, and you have to download by yourself their python driver with their license.

You can download from here:

https://github.com/datastax/python-driver

The folder you need is cassandra/

example.py is the sample file.

In the original example.py there is a typo, line 82 is wrongly: log.exeception()

Must be:

log.exception()

The documentation will be updated asap.

  • Work as web service via Tcp/Ip
  • Allows to act as a proxy, so having several layers in your architecture
  • Allows to be queried from distant servers not having any other driver, just querying via Tcp/Ip http request
  • Support latest version of CQL
  • Driver based on Python
  • Provides all the data as String. No bizarre data type conversions
  • Webserver can be any supporting Python (Apache, lighthttpd, etc…) and so supports all its features like gzip data compression, etcetera
