@hackage cassy0.2.0.1

A high level driver for the Cassandra datastore

The objective is to completely isolate away the thrift layer, providing a more idiomatic Haskell experience working with Cassandra.

Certain parts of the API was inspired by pycassa (Python client) and hscassandra (on Hackage).

A brief explanation of modules:

  • Database.Cassandra.Basic: Contains a low level, simple implementation of Cassandra interaction using the thrift API underneath.

  • Database.Cassandra.JSON: A higher level API that operates on values with ToJSON and FromJSON isntances from the aeson library. This module has in part been inspired by Bryan O'Sullivan's riak client for Haskell.

  • Database.Cassandra.Pool: Handles a pool of connections to multiple servers in a cluster, splitting the load among them.

  • Database.Cassandra.Types: A common set of types used everywhere.

Potential TODOs include:

  • Support for counters and batch mutators

  • Support for database admin operations

  • Support for composite column types
