Cassandra
Component format
To setup Cassandra state store create a component of type state.cassandra. See this guide on how to create and apply a state store configuration.
apiVersion: dapr.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
name: <NAME>
spec:
type: state.cassandra
version: v1
metadata:
- name: hosts
value: <REPLACE-WITH-COMMA-DELIMITED-HOSTS> # Required. Example: cassandra.cassandra.svc.cluster.local
- name: username
value: <REPLACE-WITH-PASSWORD> # Optional. default: ""
- name: password
value: <REPLACE-WITH-PASSWORD> # Optional. default: ""
- name: consistency
value: <REPLACE-WITH-CONSISTENCY> # Optional. default: "All"
- name: table
value: <REPLACE-WITH-TABLE> # Optional. default: "items"
- name: keyspace
value: <REPLACE-WITH-KEYSPACE> # Optional. default: "dapr"
- name: protoVersion
value: <REPLACE-WITH-PROTO-VERSION> # Optional. default: "4"
- name: replicationFactor
value: <REPLACE-WITH-REPLICATION-FACTOR> # Optional. default: "1"
Warning
The above example uses secrets as plain strings. It is recommended to use a secret store for the secrets as described here.Spec metadata fields
| Field | Required | Details | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| hosts | Y | Comma separated value of the hosts | "cassandra.cassandra.svc.cluster.local". |
| port | N | Port for communication. Default "9042" |
"9042" |
| username | Y | The username of database user. No default | "user" |
| password | Y | The password for the user | "password" |
| consistency | N | The consistency values | "All", "Quorum" |
| table | N | Table name. Defaults to "items" |
"items", "tab" |
| keyspace | N | The cassandra keyspace to use. Defaults to "dapr" |
"dapr" |
| protoVersion | N | The proto version for the client. Defaults to "4" |
"3", "4" |
| replicationFactor | N | The replication factor for the calls. Defaults to "1" |
"3" |
Setup Cassandra
You can run Cassandra locally with the Datastax Docker image:
docker run -e DS_LICENSE=accept --memory 4g --name my-dse -d datastax/dse-server -g -s -k
You can then interact with the server using localhost:9042.
The easiest way to install Cassandra on Kubernetes is by using the Helm chart:
kubectl create namespace cassandra
helm install cassandra incubator/cassandra --namespace cassandra
This installs Cassandra into the cassandra namespace by default.
To interact with Cassandra, find the service with: kubectl get svc -n cassandra.
For example, if installing using the example above, the Cassandra DNS would be:
cassandra.cassandra.svc.cluster.local
