aiocassandra's Introduction

aiocassandra

info:	Simple threaded cassandra wrapper for asyncio

Installation

pip install aiocassandra

Usage

import asyncio

from aiocassandra import aiosession
from cassandra.cluster import Cluster
from cassandra.query import SimpleStatement

# connection is blocking call
cluster = Cluster()
# aiocassandra uses executor_threads to talk to cassndra driver
# https://datastax.github.io/python-driver/api/cassandra/cluster.html?highlight=executor_threads
session = cluster.connect()


async def main():
    # patches and adds `execute_future`, `execute_futures` and `prepare_future`
    # to `cassandra.cluster.Session`
    aiosession(session)

    # best way is to use cassandra prepared statements
    # https://cassandra-zone.com/prepared-statements/
    # https://datastax.github.io/python-driver/api/cassandra/cluster.html#cassandra.cluster.Session.prepare
    # try to create them once on application init
    query = session.prepare('SELECT now() FROM system.local;')

    # if non-blocking prepared statements is really needed:
    query = await session.prepare_future('SELECT now() FROM system.local;')

    print(await session.execute_future(query))

    # pagination is also supported
    query = 'SELECT * FROM system.size_estimates;'
    statement = SimpleStatement(query, fetch_size=100)

    # don't miss *s* (execute_futureS)
    async with session.execute_futures(statement) as paginator:
        async for row in paginator:
            print(row)


loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
cluster.shutdown()
loop.close()
