README

Notes:

* Compatible with Cassandra 0.5.1 upwards (0.6.1)
* Direct port of pycassa
* Basic conversion of types (UUIDs to strings)

Examples:

* Including files:

<?php

// Copy all the files in this repository to your include directory.

$GLOBALS['THRIFT_ROOT'] = dirname(__FILE__) . '/include/thrift/';
require_once $GLOBALS['THRIFT_ROOT'].'/packages/cassandra/Cassandra.php';
require_once $GLOBALS['THRIFT_ROOT'].'/transport/TSocket.php';
require_once $GLOBALS['THRIFT_ROOT'].'/protocol/TBinaryProtocol.php';
require_once $GLOBALS['THRIFT_ROOT'].'/transport/TFramedTransport.php';
require_once $GLOBALS['THRIFT_ROOT'].'/transport/TBufferedTransport.php';

include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/include/phpcassa.php');
include_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/include/uuid.php');

?>

* Setting up nodes:

<?php
CassandraConn::add_node('192.168.1.1', 9160);
CassandraConn::add_node('192.168.1.2', 5000);
?>

* Create a column family object

<?php
$users = new CassandraCF('Keyspace1', 'Users'); // ColumnFamily
$super = new CassandraCF('Keyspace1', 'SuperColumn', true); // SuperColumnFamily
?>

* Inserting:

<?php
$users->insert('1', array('email' => 'hoan.tonthat@gmail.com', 'password' => 'test'));
?>

* Querying:

<?php
$users->get('1'); // array('email' => 'hoan.tonthat@gmail.com', 'password' => 'test')
$users->multiget(array('1', '2')); // array('1' => array('email' => 'hoan.tonthat@gmail.com', 'password' => 'test'))
?>

* Removing:

<?php
$users->remove('1'); // removes whole object
$users->remove('1', 'password'); // removes 'password' field
?>

* Other:

<?php
$users->get_count('1'); // counts the number of columns in user 1 (in this case 2)
$users->get_range('1', '10'); // gets all users between '1' and '10'
?>
