Installation

Recommended installation:

pip install django-cassandra-engine

Basic Usage

  1. Add django_cassandra_engine to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py file:

     INSTALLED_APPS = ('django_cassandra_engine',) + INSTALLED_APPS
    
  2. Change DATABASES setting:

     DATABASES = {
         'default': {
             'ENGINE': 'django_cassandra_engine',
             'NAME': 'db',
             'TEST_NAME': 'test_db',
             'HOST': 'db1.example.com,db2.example.com',
             'OPTIONS': {
                 'replication': {
                     'strategy_class': 'SimpleStrategy',
                     'replication_factor': 1
                 }
             }
         }
     }
    
  3. Define some model:

     # myapp/models.py
    
     import uuid
     from cassandra.cqlengine import columns
     from django_cassandra_engine.models import DjangoCassandraModel
    
     class ExampleModel(DjangoCassandraModel):
         example_id    = columns.UUID(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4)
         example_type  = columns.Integer(index=True)
         created_at    = columns.DateTime()
         description   = columns.Text(required=False)
    
  4. Run ./manage.py sync_cassandra

  5. Done!
