Cassandra-native-driver NPM

node-cassandra-native-driver

Node.js addon that wraps the DataStax C++ cassandra driver.

Functionally, this project is similar to https://github.com/datastax/nodejs-driver except that it offers better performance due to the fact that the protocol processing is performed in C++ and can thereby leverage other threads instead of just the main loop thread.

Installation

npm install cassandra-native-driver

Features

Exposes much of the native driver functionality, including regular, prepared, and batch statements as well as various configuration options.
Tuned for high performance, capable of 100,000s of operations per second under some circumstances.
Fully parallel execution model, including support for paging results.
Asynchronous logging handler that exposes C++ driver logs as Javascript callbacks.
Supports most basic cql types, including int, varchar, double, boolean, blob, counter, timestamp including a convenient type based on the Javascript type as well as an API to explicitly select the type.

Basic Usage

var cassandra = require('cassandra-native-driver');
var client = new cassandra.Client(options);
client.connect({address: "10.0.0.1,10.0.0.2"}, function(err) {
    var cql = "SELECT email from profile where username = ?";
    client.execute(cql, 'joe', function(err, results) {
        console.log('got email', results.rows[0]);
    });
}
