Cassandra Migration

A simple and lightweight migration tool for Apache Cassandra database that's based on Axel Fontaine's Flyway project. Cassandra Migration works just like Flyway. Plain CQL and Java based migrations are supported. The Java migration interface provides DataStax's Java Driver session.

Why not create an extension to an existing popular database migration project (i.e. Flyway)?

Popular database migration tools, such as Flyway and Liquibase are tailored for relational databases with JDBC. This project exists because...

Cassandra is not a relational database
Cassandra does not have transactions
Cassandra currently does not have production-ready JDBC implementation
It does not make sense to attempt implementing parity with relational database functions like global sequence IDs for Cassandra
Cassandra's keyspace should be managed outside the migration tool for sysadmins to configure replication factor, etc
CQL != SQL
The tool should be tailored to Cassandra, especially from the perspective of its distributed architecture
I already use Flyway and I do not want to maintain my own version of Flyway with Cassandra hacks

Requirements

Java (Tested with JDK 7+)
Apache Cassandra (Tested with 2.1.5+)
Pre-populated keyspace

Supported Migration Script Types

.cql files

Example:

CREATE TABLE test1 (
  space text,
  key text,
  value text,
  PRIMARY KEY (space, key)
) with CLUSTERING ORDER BY (key ASC);

INSERT INTO test1 (space, key, value) VALUES ('foo', 'blah', 'meh');

UPDATE test1 SET value = 'profit!' WHERE space = 'foo' AND key = 'blah';

Java classes

Example:

public class V3_0__Third implements JavaMigration {

    @Override
    public void migrate(Session session) throws Exception {
        Insert insert = QueryBuilder.insertInto("test1");
        insert.value("space", "web");
        insert.value("key", "google");
        insert.value("value", "google.com");

        session.execute(insert);
    }
}

Interface

Java API

Example:

String[] scriptsLocations = {"migration/cassandra"};

Keyspace keyspace = new Keyspace();
keyspace.setName(CASSANDRA__KEYSPACE);
keyspace.getCluster().setContactpoints(CASSANDRA_CONTACT_POINT);
keyspace.getCluster().setPort(CASSANDRA_PORT);
keyspace.getCluster().setUsername(CASSANDRA_USERNAME);
keyspace.getCluster().setPassword(CASSANDRA_PASSWORD);

CassandraMigration cm = new CassandraMigration();
cm.getConfigs().setScriptsLocations(scriptsLocations);
cm.setKeyspace(keyspace);
cm.migrate();

Command line

java -jar \
-Dcassandra.migration.scripts.locations=file:target/test-classes/migration/integ \
-Dcassandra.migration.cluster.contactpoints=localhost \
-Dcassandra.migration.cluster.port=9147 \
-Dcassandra.migration.cluster.username=cassandra \
-Dcassandra.migration.cluster.password=cassandra \
-Dcassandra.migration.keyspace.name=cassandra_migration_test \
target/*-jar-with-dependencies.jar migrate

Logging level can be set by passing the following arguments:

INFO: This is the default
DEBUG: '-X'
WARNING: '-q'

VM Options

Options can be set either programmatically with API or via VM options.

Migration

cassandra.migration.scripts.locations: Locations of the migration scripts in CSV format. Scripts are scanned in the specified folder recursively. (default=db/migration)
cassandra.migration.scripts.encoding: The encoding of CQL scripts (default=UTF-8)
cassandra.migration.scripts.allowoutoforder: Allow out of order migration (default=false)
cassandra.migration.version.target: The target version. Migrations with a higher version number will be ignored. (default=latest)

Cluster

cassandra.migration.cluster.contactpoints: Comma separated values of node IP addresses (default=localhost)
cassandra.migration.cluster.port: CQL native transport port (default=9042)
cassandra.migration.cluster.username: Username for password authenticator (optional)
cassandra.migration.cluster.password: Password for password authenticator (optional)

Keyspace

cassandra.migration.keyspace.name: Name of Cassandra keyspace (required)

Cluster Coordination

Schema version tracking statements use ConsistencyLevel.ALL
Users should manage their own consistency level in the migration scripts

Limitations

Baselining not supported yet
The tool does not roll back the database upon migration failure. You're expected to manually restore backup.
