Apache Cassandra Connector 4.1 Examples

The following examples show how to configure Apache Cassandra Connector:

Create a New Apache Cassandra Table

This example contains the following flows:

  • The first flow configures a template for the HTML input form used to convey data for the new table.

  • The second flow creates the keyspace for the new table.

  • The third flow creates the new table.

This example uses variables for some field values. You can either:

  • Replace the variables with their values in the code

  • Provide the values for each variable in a properties file and then refer to that file from the connector configuration.

If you don’t know how to use a properties file, see Configuring Property Placeholders.

Configure a Template for the HTML Input Form

This flow configures an HTML template to use for providing HTML input to create the new table:

Parse Template Flow
Figure 1. Flow for configuring an HTML template

Configure HTTP Listener

Configure HTTP Listener to initiate a Mule flow when a call is made to the / path on port 8081:

  1. Create a new Mule Project in Anypoint Studio.

  2. In Studio, click HTTP and drag the Listener operation to the canvas.

  3. On the Listener properties window, click the plus sign (+) next to the Connector configuration field to add a global element.

  4. Accept the defaults.

  5. On the Listener properties window, set the Path field value to /.

Add a Parse Template Component

Add a Parse Template component to create a template for an HTML form (form.html), which is located in the main resources folder. The example uses this form to convey information for creating the table.

  1. From the Mule Palette view, search for parse and drag Core > Parse Template to the right of Listener.

  2. In the Location field, enter form.html.

Create the Keyspace

This flow creates the keyspace for the new table:

Create keyspace flow
Figure 2. Flow for creating a keyspace

  5. In Listener configuration window, set the Path field value to /test/createKeyspace.

Add a Transform Message Component

Add a Transform Message component to set Java variables based on the payload received from HTTP Listener:

  1. From the Mule Palette view, drag a Transform Message component to the right of Listener.

  2. In the Transform Message configuration, overlay the brackets in the Output section with this XML:

    %dw 2.0
output application/java
---
{
 "keyspaceName": payload.keyspaceName,
 "replicationFactor": payload.replicationFactor,
 "replicationStrategyClass": payload.replicationStrategyClass
}
as Object {
 class: "org.mule.modules.cassandradb.api.CreateKeyspaceInput"
}

Add the Create Keyspace Operation

Add the Create keyspace operation to create the keyspace where the new table will reside:

  1. From the Mule Palette view, select CassandDB and drag the Create keyspace operation to the right of the Transform Message component.

  2. In the Create keyspace configuration, click the plus sign (+) next to the Connector configuration field to add a global element.

  3. Configure the fields in the global element:

    Field Description

    Host

    ${cassandra.Host}

    Port

    ${cassandra.Port}

    Keyspace

    ${cassandra.keySpace}

    Username

    ${cassandra.userName}

    Password

    ${cassandra.password}

  4. Click Test Connection to confirm that Mule can connect with the target Apache Cassandra instance.

    If the connection is successful, click OK to save the configuration. Otherwise, review and correct any invalid parameters and retest.

  5. Save the project.

  6. Test the app by sending a REST request to the test/createKeyspace path on port 8081.

Create a New Table

This flow creates a new table in the target Apache Cassandra database:

Drop Columns

This Mule flow removes a column from a table in a keyspace.

In this flow, you configure:

  • An HTTP Listener component

  • A Drop Column operation

Configure HTTP Listener

Configure HTTP Listener to initiate a Mule flow when a call is made to the / account path on localhost, port 8081.

This example uses variables for some field values. You can either:

  • Replace the variables with their values in the code.

  • Provide the values for each variable in a properties file and then refer to that file from the connector configuration.

If you don’t know how to use a properties file, see Configuring Property Placeholders.

  1. Create a new Mule project in Studio.

  2. In the Mule Palette view, search for http and select the Listener operation:

  3. Drag the Listener operation onto the canvas.

  4. In the Listener configuration, click the Add icon next to the Connector configuration field to add a global element.

  5. Click OK to accept the defaults.
