Cassandra Output

The Cassandra Input transform writes data to a Cassandra table of an Apache Cassandra cluster using CQL (Cassandra Query Language) version 3.x.

Options

Option Description

Option	Description
Cassandra connection	Here you specify the name of the connection to use either as a fixed value or as a variable expression. There are buttons to the right of the input field to hel you manage the metadata.
Table to write to	Specify the name of the table to write to.
Consistency level	Please see Cassandra Write consistency levels for a list of possible values.
Commit batch size	The number of rows to update at once in each commit
Batch insert timeout	Specify the number of milliseconds to wait for a batch to completely insert before splitting into smaller sub-batches. You must specify a value lower than Socket timeout or leave empty for no timeout.
Sub batch size	Specify the sub-batch size (in number of rows) if the batch must be split because Batch insert timeout is reached.
Insert unlogged batches	Select if you want to use non-atomic batch writing. By default, batches are atomic (if any of the batch succeeds, all of it will succeed). Select this option to remove the atomic restriction.
Time to live (TTL)	Specify the amount of time in which to write a column. If the time expires, that column is deleted.
Incoming field to use as the key	Specify which incoming field to use as the key. You can use to specify the key from the names of incoming transform fields.
Create table	Select to create a named table (column family) if one does not already exist.
Table creation WITH clause	Specify additions to the table creation `WITH` clause.
Truncate table	Select if you want any existing data to be deleted from the named table before inserting incoming rows.
Update table metadata	Select if you want to update the table metadata with information on incoming fields not already present. If this option is not selected, any unknown incoming fields are ignored unless the Insert fields not in column meta data option is selected.
Insert fields not in column meta data	Select if want to insert the table metadata in any incoming fields not present, with respect to the default table validator. This option has no effect if Update table meta data is selected.

Cassandra connection

Here you specify the name of the connection to use either as a fixed value or as a variable expression. There are buttons to the right of the input field to hel you manage the metadata.

Table to write to

Specify the name of the table to write to.

Consistency level

Please see Cassandra Write consistency levels for a list of possible values.

Commit batch size

The number of rows to update at once in each commit

Batch insert timeout

Specify the number of milliseconds to wait for a batch to completely insert before splitting into smaller sub-batches. You must specify a value lower than Socket timeout or leave empty for no timeout.

Sub batch size

Specify the sub-batch size (in number of rows) if the batch must be split because Batch insert timeout is reached.

Insert unlogged batches

Select if you want to use non-atomic batch writing. By default, batches are atomic (if any of the batch succeeds, all of it will succeed). Select this option to remove the atomic restriction.

Time to live (TTL)

Specify the amount of time in which to write a column. If the time expires, that column is deleted.

Incoming field to use as the key

Specify which incoming field to use as the key. You can use to specify the key from the names of incoming transform fields.

Create table

Select to create a named table (column family) if one does not already exist.

Table creation WITH clause

Specify additions to the table creation WITH clause.

Truncate table

Select if you want any existing data to be deleted from the named table before inserting incoming rows.

Update table metadata

Select if you want to update the table metadata with information on incoming fields not already present. If this option is not selected, any unknown incoming fields are ignored unless the Insert fields not in column meta data option is selected.

Insert fields not in column meta data

Select if want to insert the table metadata in any incoming fields not present, with respect to the default table validator. This option has no effect if Update table meta data is selected.
