DataStax C/C Driver for Apache Cassandra

Build Status

A modern, feature-rich, and highly tunable C/C client library for Apache Cassandra (1.2 ) and DataStax Enterprise (3.1 ) using exclusively Cassandra's native protocol and Cassandra Query Language v3.

What's New in 2.1

  • Tuples and UDTs
  • Nested collections
  • Data types
  • Support for Cassandra 2.1 (CQL protocol version 3)

More information about all the changes found in the 2.0 release can be found in this blog post and in the changelog.

Upgrading from 1.0 to 2.0

There were a couple breaking API changes between 1.0 and 2.0 that are documented here.

A Simple Example

#include <cassandra.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  /* Setup and connect to cluster */
  CassFuture* connect_future = NULL;
  CassCluster* cluster = cass_cluster_new();
  CassSession* session = cass_session_new();

  /* Add contact points */
  cass_cluster_set_contact_points(cluster, "127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2,127.0.0.3");

  /* Provide the cluster object as configuration to connect the session */
  connect_future = cass_session_connect(session, cluster);

  if (cass_future_error_code(connect_future) == CASS_OK) {
    CassFuture* close_future = NULL;

    /* Build statement and execute query */
    CassStatement* statement
      = cass_statement_new("SELECT keyspace_name "
                           "FROM system.schema_keyspaces", 0);

    CassFuture* result_future = cass_session_execute(session, statement);

    if(cass_future_error_code(result_future) == CASS_OK) {
      /* Retrieve result set and iterate over the rows */
      const CassResult* result = cass_future_get_result(result_future);
      CassIterator* rows = cass_iterator_from_result(result);

      while(cass_iterator_next(rows)) {
        const CassRow* row = cass_iterator_get_row(rows);
        const CassValue* value = cass_row_get_column_by_name(row, "keyspace_name");

        const char* keyspace;
        size_t keyspace_length;
        cass_value_get_string(value, &keyspace, &keyspace_length);
        printf("keyspace_name: '%.*s'\n",
               (int)keyspace_length, keyspace);
      }

      cass_result_free(result);
      cass_iterator_free(rows);
    } else {
      /* Handle error */
      const char* message;
      size_t message_length;
      cass_future_error_message(result_future, &message, &message_length);
      fprintf(stderr, "Unable to run query: '%.*s'\n",
              (int)message_length, message);
    }

    cass_statement_free(statement);
    cass_future_free(result_future);

    /* Close the session */
    close_future = cass_session_close(session);
    cass_future_wait(close_future);
    cass_future_free(close_future);
  } else {
    /* Handle error */
    const char* message;
    size_t message_length;
    cass_future_error_message(connect_future, &message, &message_length);
    fprintf(stderr, "Unable to connect: '%.*s'\n",
            (int)message_length, message);
  }

  cass_future_free(connect_future);
  cass_cluster_free(cluster);
  cass_session_free(session);

  return 0;
