Build your own package

You can build your own package for any supported python version for x86_64 and aarch64 Linux.

Example for build wheel for Python 3.12 x86_64 from master branch

git clone https://github.com/acsylla/acsylla.git
cd acsylla
docker run -v `pwd`:/io -e PYTHON_VERSION=3.12  quay.io/pypa/manylinux_2_28_x86_64  /io/bin/build_manylinux_2_28_wheel.sh

Example for build wheel for Python 3.12 aarch64 from master branch

git clone https://github.com/acsylla/acsylla.git
cd acsylla
docker run --platform linux/arm64 -v `pwd`:/io -e PYTHON_VERSION=3.12  quay.io/pypa/manylinux_2_28_aarch64  /io/bin/build_manylinux_2_28_wheel.sh

Cluster

The Cluster object describes a Cassandra/ScyllaDB cluster’s configuration. The default cluster object is good for most clusters and only requires a single or multiple list of contact points in order to establish a session connection.
For example:
cluster = acsylla.create_cluster('127.0.0.1, 127.0.0.2')

Once a session is connected using a cluster object its configuration is constant.

Modifying the cluster object configuration once a session is established does not alter the session’s configuration.

Configuration options

List of named arguments to configure cluster with acsylla.create_cluster helper.

  • contact_points: Sets contact points. This MUST be set. White space is striped from the contact points.
    Examples: “127.0.0.1”, “127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2”, “server1.domain.com”

  • port: Sets the port.

  • logging_callback: Sets a callback function to catch log messages.
    Default: An internal logger with "acsylla" name. logging.getLogger('acsylla')

  • ssl_enable: Enable SSL connection
    Default: False

  • ssl_cert: Set client-side certificate chain. This is used to authenticate the client on the server-side. This should contain the entire Certificate chain starting with the certificate itself

  • ssl_private_key: Set client-side private key. This is used to authenticate the client on the server-side.

  • ssl_private_key_password: Password for ssl_private_key

  • ssl_trusted_cert: Adds a trusted certificate. This is used to verify the peer’s certificate.

  • ssl_verify_flags: Sets verification performed on the peer’s certificate.

    • NONE No verification is performed
    • PEER_CERT Certificate is present and valid
    • PEER_IDENTITY IP address matches the certificate’s common name or one of its subject alternative names. This implies the certificate is also present.
    • PEER_IDENTITY_DNS Hostname matches the certificate’s common name or one of its subject alternative names. This implies the certificate is also present.
      Default: PEER_CERT
  • protocol_version: Sets the protocol version. The driver will automatically downgrade to the lowest supported protocol version.
    Default: acsylla.ProtocolVersion.V4 or acsylla.ProtocolVersion.DSEV1 when using the DSE driver with DataStax Enterprise.

    Default: 1

  • core_connections_per_host: Sets the number of connections made to each server in each IO thread.
    Default: 1

  • constant_reconnect_delay_ms: Configures the cluster to use a reconnection policy that waits a constant time between each reconnection attempt. Time in milliseconds to delay attempting a reconnection; 0 to perform a reconnection immediately.
    Default: Not set

  • exponential_reconnect_base_delay_ms: The base delay (in milliseconds) to use for scheduling reconnection attempts. Configures the cluster to use a reconnection policy that waits exponentially longer between each reconnection attempt; however will maintain a constant delay once the maximum delay is reached.
    Note: A random amount of jitter (+/- 15%) will be added to the pure exponential delay value. This helps to prevent situations where multiple connections are in the reconnection process at exactly the same time. The jitter will never cause the delay to be less than the base delay, or more than the max delay.
    Default: 2000

  • exponential_reconnect_max_delay_ms: The maximum delay to wait between two reconnection attempts. See exponential_reconnect_max_delay_ms
    Default: 60000

  • coalesce_delay_us: Sets the amount of time, in microseconds, to wait for new requests to coalesce into a single system call. This should be set to a value around the latency SLA of your application’s requests while also considering the request’s roundtrip time. Larger values should be used for throughput bound workloads and lower values should be used for latency bound workloads.
    Default: 200 us

  • new_request_ratio: Sets the ratio of time spent processing new requests versus handling the I/O and processing of outstanding requests. The range of this setting is 1 to 100, where larger values allocate more time to processing new requests and smaller values allocate more time to processing outstanding requests.
    Default: 50

  • max_schema_wait_time_ms: Sets the maximum time to wait for schema agreement after a schema change is made (e.g. creating, altering, dropping a table/keyspace/view/index etc).

    Default: 15 milliseconds

  • tracing_retry_wait_time_ms: Sets the amount of time to wait between attempts to check to see if tracing is available.
    Default: 3 milliseconds

  • tracing_consistency: Sets the consistency level to use for checking to see if tracing data is available.
    Default: ONE

  • load_balance_round_robin: Configures the cluster to use round-robin load balancing. The driver discovers all nodes in a cluster and cycles through them per request. All are considered local.

  • load_balance_dc_aware: The primary data center to try first. Configures the cluster to use DC-aware load balancing. For each query, all live nodes in a primary ‘local’ DC are tried first, followed by any node from other DCs.
    Note: This is the default, and does not need to be called unless switching an existing from another policy or changing settings. Without further configuration, a default local_dc is chosen from the first connected contact point, and no remote hosts are considered in query plans. If relying on this mechanism, be sure to use only contact points from the local DC.

  • load_balance_rack_aware_dc: Configures the cluster to use Rack-aware load balancing. For each query, all live nodes in a primary 'local' rack are tried first, followed by nodes from local DC and then nodes from other DCs. With empty local_rack and local_dc, default local_dc and local_rack is chosen from the first connected contact point, and no remote hosts are considered in query plans. If relying on this mechanism, be sure to use only contact points from the local rack.

  • load_balance_rack_aware_rack: Configures the cluster to use Rack-aware load balancing. For each query, all live nodes in a primary 'local' rack are tried first, followed by nodes from local DC and then nodes from other DCs. With empty local_rack and local_dc, default local_dc and local_rack is chosen from the first connected contact point, and no remote hosts are considered in query plans. If relying on this mechanism, be sure to use only contact points from the local rack.

  • token_aware_routing: Configures the cluster to use token-aware request routing or not. This routing policy composes the base routing policy, routing requests first to replicas on nodes considered ‘local’ by the base load balancing policy.
    Important: Token-aware routing depends on keyspace metadata. For this reason enabling token-aware routing will also enable retrieving and updating keyspace schema metadata.
    Default: True (enabled).

  • token_aware_routing_shuffle_replicas: Configures token-aware routing to randomly shuffle replicas. This can reduce the effectiveness of server-side caching, but it can better distribute load over replicas for a given partition key.
    Note: Token-aware routing token_aware_routing must be enabled for the setting to be applicable.
    Default: True (enabled).

  • latency_aware_routing: Configures the cluster to use latency-aware request routing or not. This routing policy is a top-level routing policy. It uses the base routing policy to determine locality (dc-aware) and/or placement (token-aware) before considering the latency.
    Default: False (disabled).

  • latency_aware_routing_settings: Configures the settings for latency-aware request routing. Instance of acsylla.LatencyAwareRoutingSettings
    Default:

    • exclusion_threshold 2.0 Controls how much worse the latency be compared to the average latency of the best performing node before it penalized.
    • scale_ms 100 milliseconds Controls the weight given to older latencies when calculating the average latency of a node. A bigger scale will give more weight to older latency measurements.
    • retry_period_ms 10,000 milliseconds The amount of time a node is penalized by the policy before being given a second chance when the current average latency exceeds the calculated threshold (exclusion_threshold * best_average_latency).
    • update_rate_ms 100 milliseconds The rate at which the best average latency is recomputed.
    • min_measured 50 The minimum number of measurements per-host required to be considered by the policy
  • whitelist_hosts: Sets whitelist hosts. The first call sets the whitelist hosts and any subsequent calls appends additional hosts. Passing an empty string will clear and disable the whitelist. White space is striped from the hosts.
    This policy filters requests to all other policies, only allowing requests to the hosts contained in the whitelist. Any host not in the whitelist will be ignored and a connection will not be established. This policy is useful for ensuring that the driver will only connect to a predefined set of hosts.
    Examples: “127.0.0.1”, “127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2”

  • blacklist_hosts: Sets blacklist hosts. The first call sets the blacklist hosts and any subsequent calls appends additional hosts. Passing an empty string will clear and disable the blacklist. White space is striped from the hosts.
    This policy filters requests to all other policies, only allowing requests to the hosts not contained in the blacklist. Any host in the blacklist will be ignored and a connection will not be established. This policy is useful for ensuring that the driver will not connect to a predefined set of hosts.
    Examples: “127.0.0.1”, “127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2”

  • whitelist_dc: Same as whitelist_hosts, but whitelist all hosts of a dc
    Examples: “dc1”, “dc1,dc2”

  • blacklist_dc: Same as blacklist_hosts, but blacklist all hosts of a dc
    Examples: “dc1”, “dc1,dc2”

  • tcp_nodelay: Enable/Disable Nagle’s algorithm on connections.
    Default: True

  • tcp_keepalive_sec: Set keep-alive delay in seconds.
    Default: disabled

  • timestamp_gen: "server_side" or "monotonic" Sets the timestamp generator used to assign timestamps to all requests unless overridden by setting the timestamp on a statement or a batch.
    Default: Monotonically increasing, client-side timestamp generator.

  • heartbeat_interval_sec: Sets the amount of time between heartbeat messages and controls the amount of time the connection must be idle before sending heartbeat messages. This is useful for preventing intermediate network devices from dropping connections.
    Default: 30 seconds

  • idle_timeout_sec: Sets the amount of time a connection is allowed to be without a successful heartbeat response before being terminated and scheduled for reconnection.
    Default: 60 seconds

  • retry_policy: May be set to default or fallthrough Sets the retry policy used for all requests unless overridden by setting a retry policy on a statement or a batch.

    • default This policy retries queries in the following cases:
      • On a read timeout, if enough replicas replied but data was not received.
      • On a write timeout, if a timeout occurs while writing the distributed batch log
      • On unavailable, it will move to the next host
      • In all other cases the error will be returned. This policy always uses the query’s original consistency level.
    • fallthrough This policy never retries or ignores a server-side failure. The error is always returned.

    Default: default This policy will retry on a read timeout if there was enough replicas, but no data present, on a write timeout if a logged batch request failed to write the batch log, and on a unavailable error it retries using a new host. In all other cases the default policy will return an error.

  • retry_policy_logging: This policy logs the retry decision of its child policy. Logging is done using INFO level.
    Default: False

  • use_schema: Enable/Disable retrieving and updating schema metadata. If disabled this is allows the driver to skip over retrieving and updating schema metadata and session.get_metadata() will always return an empty object. This can be useful for reducing the startup overhead of short-lived sessions.
    Default: True (enabled)

  • hostname_resolution: Enable retrieving hostnames for IP addresses using reverse IP lookup. This is useful for authentication (Kerberos) or encryption (SSL) services that require a valid hostname for verification.
    Default: False (disabled)

  • randomized_contact_points: Enable/Disable the randomization of the contact points list.
    Important: This setting should only be disabled for debugging or tests.
    Default: True (enabled)

  • speculative_execution_policy: Enable constant speculative executions with the supplied settings acsylla.SpeculativeExecutionPolicy.

  • max_reusable_write_objects: Sets the maximum number of “pending write” objects that will be saved for re-use for marshalling new requests. These objects may hold on to a significant amount of memory and reducing the number of these objects may reduce memory usage of the application.
    The cost of reducing the value of this setting is potentially slower marshalling of requests prior to sending.
    Default: Max unsigned integer value

  • prepare_on_all_hosts: Prepare statements on all available hosts.
    Default: True

  • no_compact: Enable the NO_COMPACT startup option. This can help facilitate uninterrupted cluster upgrades where tables using COMPACT_STORAGE will operate in “compatibility mode” for BATCH, DELETE, SELECT, and UPDATE CQL operations.
    Default: False

  • host_listener_callback: Sets a callback for handling host state changes in the cluster. Note: The callback is invoked only when state changes in the cluster are applicable to the configured load balancing policy(s).

  • application_name: Set the application name. This is optional; however it provides the server with the application name that can aid in debugging issues with larger clusters where there are a lot of client (or application) connections.

  • application_version: Set the application version. This is optional; however it provides the server with the application version that can aid in debugging issues with large clusters where there are a lot of client (or application) connections that may have different versions in use.

  • client_id: Set the client id. This is optional; however it provides the server with the client ID that can aid in debugging issues with large clusters where there are a lot of client connections.
    Default: UUID v4 generated

  • monitor_reporting_interval_sec: Sets the amount of time between monitor reporting event messages.
    Default: 300 seconds.

  • cloud_secure_connection_bundle: Absolute path to DBaaS credentials file.
    Sets the secure connection bundle path for processing DBaaS credentials. This will pre-configure a cluster using the credentials format provided by the DBaaS cloud provider.
    Note: contact_points and ssl_enable should not used in conjunction with cloud_secure_connection_bundle.

    Example: "/path/to/secure-connect-database_name.zip"
    Default: None

Configuration methods

For full list of methods to configure Cluster see base.py

Session

A session object is used to execute queries and maintains cluster state through the control connection. The control connection is used to auto-discover nodes and monitor cluster changes (topology and schema). Each session also maintains multiple pools of connections to cluster nodes which are used to query the cluster.

import acsylla
    
cluster = acsylla.create_cluster(['localhost'])
session = await cluster.create_session(keyspace="acsylla")

Methods of Session object

  • async def close(self):
    Closes the session instance, outputs a close future which can be used to determine when the session has been terminated. This allows in-flight requests to finish.

  • async def set_keyspace(self, keyspace: str) -> "Result":
    Sets the keyspace for session

  • def get_client_id(self) -> str:
    Get the client id.

  • def get_metadata(self):
    Returns Metadata instance class for retrieving metadata from cluster.

  • async def create_prepared(self, statement: str, timeout: Optional[float] = None) -> PreparedStatement:
    Create a prepared statement.
    By providing a timeout all requests built by the prepared statement will use it, otherwise timeout provided during the Cluster instantantation will be used. Value expected is seconds.

  • async def execute(self, statement: "Statement") -> Result
    Executes an statement and returns the Result instance.

  • async def execute_batch(self, batch: Batch) -> Result:
    Executes a batch of statements.

  • def metrics(self) -> SessionMetrics:
    Returns the metrics related to the session.

  • def speculative_execution_metrics(self) -> SpeculativeExecutionMetrics:
    Returns speculative execution performance metrics gathered by the driver.

Statement

A statement object is an executable query. It represents either a regular (adhoc) statement or a prepared statement. It maintains the queries’ parameter values along with query options (consistency level, paging state, etc.)

Methods of Statement object

  • def add_key_index(self, index: int) -> None:
    Adds a key index specifier to this a statement. When using token-aware routing, this can be used to tell the driver which parameters within a non-prepared, parameterized statement are part of the partition key.
    Use consecutive calls for composite partition keys.
    This is not necessary for prepared statements, as the key parameters are determined in the metadata processed in the prepare phase.

  • def reset_parameters(self, count: int) -> None:
    Clear and/or resize the statement’s parameters.

  • def bind(self, index: int, value: SupportedType) -> None:
    Binds the value to a specific index parameter.
    If an invalid type is used for a prepared statement this will raise immediately an error. If a none prepared exception is used error will be raised later during the execution statement.
    If an invalid index is used this will raise immediately an error

  • def bind_by_name(self, name: str, value: SupportedType) -> None:
    Binds the the value to a specific parameter by name.
    If an invalid type is used for this will raise immediately an error. If an invalid name is used this will raise immediately an error

  • def bind_list(self, values: Sequence[SupportedType]) -> None:
    Binds the values into all parameters from left to right.
    For types supported and errors that this function might raise take a look at the Statement.bind function.

  • def bind_dict(self, values: Mapping[str, SupportedType]) -> None:
    Binds the values into all parameter names. Names are the keys of the mapping provided. For types supported and errors that this function might raise take
    look at the Statement.bind_dict function. Note: This method are only allowed for statements created using prepared statements

  • def set_page_size(self, page_size: int) -> None:
    Sets the statement's page size.

  • def set_page_state(self, page_state: bytes) -> None:
    Sets the statement's paging state. This can be used to get the next page of data in a multi-page query.
    Warning: The paging state should not be exposed to or come from untrusted environments. The paging state could be spoofed and potentially used to gain access to other data.

  • def set_timeout(self, timeout: float) -> None:
    Sets the statement's timeout in seconds for waiting for a response from a node.
    Default: Disabled (use the cluster-level request timeout)

  • def set_consistency(self, timeout: float) -> None:
    Sets the statement’s consistency level.
    Default: LOCAL_ONE

  • def set_serial_consistency(self, timeout: float) -> None:
    Sets the statement’s serial consistency level.
    Default: Not set

  • def set_timestamp(self, timestamp: int):
    Sets the statement’s timestamp.

  • def set_retry_policy(self, retry_policy: str, retry_policy_logging: bool = False):
    Sets the statement’s retry policy.
    May be set to default or fallthrough

    • default This policy retries queries in the following cases:
      • On a read timeout, if enough replicas replied but data was not received.
      • On a write timeout, if a timeout occurs while writing the distributed batch log
      • On unavailable, it will move to the next host
      • In all other cases the error will be returned. This policy always uses the query’s original consistency level.
    • fallthrough This policy never retries or ignores a server-side failure. The error is always returned.
      Default: default This policy will retry on a read timeout if there was enough replicas, but no data present, on a write timeout if a logged batch request failed to write the batch log, and on a unavailable error it retries using a new host. In all other cases the default policy will return an error.
    • retry_policy_logging If set to True, this policy logs the retry decision of its child policy. Logging is done using INFO level. Default: False
  • def set_tracing(self, enabled: bool = None):
    Sets whether the statement should use tracing.

  • def set_host(self, host: str, port: int = 9042):
    Sets a specific host that should run the query.
    In general, this should not be used, but it can be useful in the following situations:
    To query node-local tables such as system and virtual tables.
    To apply a sequence of schema changes where it makes sense for all the changes to be applied on a single node.

  • def set_execution_profile(self, name: str) -> None:
    Sets the execution profile to execute the statement with. Note: Empty string will clear execution profile from statement

  • def set_execute_as(self, name: str) -> None:
    Sets the name of the user to execute the statement as.

  • def count(self) -> int:
    Returns the total rows of the result

  • def column_count(self) -> int:
    Returns the total columns returned

  • def columns_names(self):
    Returns the columns names

  • def first(self) -> Optional["Row"]:
    Return the first result, if there is no row returns None.

  • def all(self) -> Iterable["Row"]:
    Return the all rows using of a result, using an iterator.
    If there is no rows iterator returns no rows.

  • def has_more_pages(self) -> bool:
    Returns true if there is still pages to be fetched

  • def page_state(self) -> bytes:
    Returns a token with the page state for continuing fetching new results.
    Before calling this method you must first checks if there are more results using the has_more_pages function, and if there are use the token returned by this function as an argument of the factories for creating an statement for returning the next page.

Row

A collection of column values.

Methods of Row object

Provides access to a row of a Result.

result = await session.execute(statement)
for row in result:
    print(row.as_dict())
  • def as_dict(self) -> dict:
    Returns the row as dict.

  • def as_list(self) -> list:
    Returns the row as list.

  • def as_tuple(self) -> tuple:
    Returns the row as tuple.

  • def as_named_tuple(self) -> tuple:
    Returns the row as named tuple.

  • def column_count(self) -> int:
    Returns column count.

  • def column_value(self, name: str) -> SupportedType:
    Returns the row column value called by name.
    Raises a CassException derived exception if the column can not be found
    Type is inferred by using the Cassandra driver and converted, if supported, to a Python type or one of the extended types provided by Acsylla.

  • def column_value_by_index(self, index):
    Returns the column value by column index. Raises an exception if the column can not be found

Logger

The driver’s logging system.

Methods of Logger object

Use the acsylla.get_logger() for acces to Logger instance.

logger = acsylla.get_logger()
  • def set_log_level(self, level: str) -> None:
    Sets the log level.
    Available levels: disabled, critical, error, warn, info, debug, trace

  • set_logging_callback(self, callback: Callable) -> None:
    Sets a callback function to catch log messages.
    Default: An internal logger with "acsylla" name.

  • def get_logger(self) -> None:
    Returns python logger.

Examples

The driver includes several examples in the examples directory.

Basic usage

The following snippet shows the minimal stuff that would be needed for creating a new Session object for the keyspace acsylla and then peform a query for reading a set of rows. For more info see base.py and factories.py Acsylla supports all native datatypes including Collections and UDT

import asyncio
import acsylla
    
async def main():
    cluster = acsylla.create_cluster(['localhost'])
    session = await cluster.create_session(keyspace="acsylla")
    statement = acsylla.create_statement("SELECT id, value FROM test WHERE id=100")
    result = await session.execute(statement)
    row = result.first()
    value = row.column_value("value")
    await session.close()

asyncio.run(main())

Binding Parameters

The ‘?’ marker is used to denote the bind variables in a query string. This can be used for both regular and prepared parameterized queries.

Non Prepared Statement

In addition to adding the bind marker to your query string your application must also provide the number of bind variables to acsylla.create_statement() via parameters kwargs when constructing a new statement.

import asyncio
import acsylla


async def bind_by_index():
    cluster = acsylla.create_cluster(['localhost'])
    session = await cluster.create_session(keyspace="acsylla")
    statement = acsylla.create_statement(
        "INSERT INTO test (id, value) VALUES (?, ?)", parameters=2)
    statement.bind(0, 1)
    statement.bind(1, 1)
    await session.execute(statement)


async def bind_list():
    cluster = acsylla.create_cluster(['localhost'])
    session = await cluster.create_session(keyspace="acsylla")
    statement = acsylla.create_statement(
        "INSERT INTO test (id, value) VALUES (?, ?)", parameters=2)
    statement.bind_list([1, 1])
    await session.execute(statement)
    
asyncio.run(bind_by_index())
asyncio.run(bind_list())
Prepared Statement

Bind variables can be bound by the marker’s index or by name and must be supplied for all bound variables.

import asyncio
import acsylla


async def bind_by_index():
    cluster = acsylla.create_cluster(['localhost'])
    session = await cluster.create_session(keyspace="acsylla")
    prepared = await session.create_prepared("INSERT INTO test (id, value) VALUES (?, ?)")
    statement = prepared.bind()
    statement.bind(0, 1)
    statement.bind(1, 1)
    await session.execute(statement)


async def bind_by_name():
    cluster = acsylla.create_cluster(['localhost'])
    session = await cluster.create_session(keyspace="acsylla")
    prepared = await session.create_prepared(
        "INSERT INTO test (id, value) VALUES (?, ?)")
    statement = prepared.bind()
    statement.bind_by_name("id", 1)
    statement.bind_by_name("value", 1)
    await session.execute(statement)


async def bind_list():
    cluster = acsylla.create_cluster(['localhost'])
    session = await cluster.create_session(keyspace="acsylla")
    prepared = await session.create_prepared(
        "INSERT INTO test (id, value) VALUES (?, ?)")
    statement = prepared.bind()
    statement.bind_list([0, 1])
    await session.execute(statement)


async def bind_dict():
    cluster = acsylla.create_cluster(['localhost'])
    session = await cluster.create_session(keyspace="acsylla")
    prepared = await session.create_prepared(
        "INSERT INTO test (id, value) VALUES (?, ?)")
    statement = prepared.bind()
    statement.bind_dict({'id': 1, 'value': 1})
    await session.execute(statement)


async def bind_named_parameters():
    cluster = acsylla.create_cluster(['localhost'])
    session = await cluster.create_session(keyspace="acsylla")
    prepared = await session.create_prepared(
        "INSERT INTO test (id, value) VALUES (:test_id, :test_value)")
    statement = prepared.bind()
    statement.bind_dict({'test_id': 1, 'test_value': 1})
    await session.execute(statement)


asyncio.run(bind_by_index())
asyncio.run(bind_by_name())
asyncio.run(bind_list())
asyncio.run(bind_dict())
asyncio.run(bind_named_parameters())

Use prepared statement and paging

async def main():
    cluster = acsylla.create_cluster(['localhost'])
    session = await cluster.create_session(keyspace="acsylla")
    prepared = await session.create_prepared("SELECT id, value FROM test")
    statement = prepared.bind(page_size=10)
    while True:
        result = await session.execute(statement)
        print(result.columns_names())
        # ['id', 'value']
        for row in result:
            print(dict(row))
            # {'id': 1, 'value': 'test'}
            print(list(row))
            # [('id', 1), ('value', 'test')]
            print(row.as_list())
            # [1, 'test']
            print(row.as_tuple())
            # (1, 'test')
        if result.has_more_pages():
            statement.set_page_size(100) # you can change statement settings on the fly
            statement.set_page_state(result.page_state())
        else:
            break

Host State Changes

The status and membership of a node can change within the life-cycle of the cluster. A host listener callback can be used to detect these changes.

import acsylla
import asyncio


def host_listener_callback(event: acsylla.HostListenerEvent, host: str):
    if event == acsylla.HostListenerEvent.UP:
        print('Host', host, 'is UP')
    else:
        print(event.name, host)


async def main():
    cluster = acsylla.create_cluster(["localhost"], host_listener_callback=host_listener_callback)
    session = await cluster.create_session(keyspace="acsylla")
    await session.close()

Developing

For developing you must clone the respository and first compile the CPP Cassandra driver, please follow the instructions for installing any dependency that you would need for compiling the driver:

NOTE: The driver depends on libuv and openssl. To install on Mac OS X, do brew install libuv and brew install openssl respectively. Additionally, you may need to export openssl lib locations: export LDFLAGS="-L/opt/homebrew/lib" and export CPPFLAGS="-I/opt/homebrew/include".

git clone git@github.com:acsylla/acsylla.git
make install-driver

Set up the environment and compile the package using the following commands:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
make compile
make install-dev

And finally run the tests:

make cert
docker-compose up -d
make test
