Database.CQL.IO

This driver operates on some state which must be initialised prior to executing client operations and terminated eventually. The library uses tinylog for its logging output and expects a Logger.

For example:

> import Data.Text (Text)
> import Data.Functor.Identity
> import Database.CQL.IO as Client
> import Database.CQL.Protocol
> import qualified System.Logger as Logger
>
> g <- Logger.new Logger.defSettings
> c <- Client.init g defSettings
> let p = QueryParams One False () Nothing Nothing Nothing
> runClient c $ query ("SELECT cql_version from system.local" :: QueryString R () (Identity Text)) p
[Identity "3.2.0"]
> shutdown c

Note on prepared statements

Prepared statements are fully supported but imply certain complexities which lead to some assumptions beyond the scope of the CQL binary protocol specification (spec):

1. The spec scopes the QueryId to the node the query has been prepared with. The spec does not state anything about the format of the QueryId, however it seems that at least the official Java driver assumes that any given QueryString yields the same QueryId on every node. We make the same assumption.
2. In case a node does not know a given QueryId an Unprepared error is returned. We assume that it is always safe to then transparently re-prepare the corresponding QueryString and to re-execute the original request against the same node.

Besides these assumptions there is also a potential tradeoff in regards to eager vs. lazy query preparation. We understand eager to mean preparation against all current nodes of a cluster and lazy to mean preparation against a single node if required, i.e. after an Unprepared error response. Which strategy to choose depends on the scope of query reuse and the size of the cluster. The global default can be changed through the Settings module and per action using withPrepareStrategy.

defSettings :: Settings

Default settings:

• contact point is "localhost" port 9042
• load-balancing policy is random
• binary protocol version is 3 (supported by Cassandra >= 2.1.0)
• connection idle timeout is 60s
• the connection pool uses 4 stripes to mitigate thread contention
• connections use a connect timeout of 5s, a send timeout of 3s and a receive timeout of 10s
• 128 streams per connection are used
• 16k receive buffer size
• no compression is applied to frame bodies
• no default keyspace is used.
• no retries are done
• lazy prepare strategy

addContact :: String -> Settings -> Settings

Add an additional host to the contact list.

setCompression :: Compression -> Settings -> Settings

Set the compression to use for frame body compression.

setConnectTimeout :: NominalDiffTime -> Settings -> Settings

Set the connect timeout of a connection.

setContacts :: String -> [String] -> Settings -> Settings

Set the initial contact points (hosts) from which node discovery will start.

setIdleTimeout :: NominalDiffTime -> Settings -> Settings

Set the connection idle timeout. Connections in a pool will be closed if not in use for longer than this timeout.

setKeyspace :: Keyspace -> Settings -> Settings

Set the default keyspace to use. Every new connection will be initialised to use this keyspace.

setMaxConnections :: Int -> Settings -> Settings

Maximum connections per pool stripe.

setMaxStreams :: Int -> Settings -> Settings

Set the maximum number of streams per connection. In version 2 of the binary protocol at most 128 streams can be used. Version 3 supports up to 32768 streams.

setMaxTimeouts :: Int -> Settings -> Settings

When receiving a response times out, we can no longer use the stream of the connection that was used to make the request as it is uncertain if a response will arrive later. Thus the bandwith of a connection will be decreased. This settings defines a threshold after which we close the connection to get a new one with all streams available.

setPolicy :: IO Policy -> Settings -> Settings

Set the load-balancing policy.

setPoolStripes :: Int -> Settings -> Settings

Set the number of pool stripes to use. A good setting is equal to the number of CPU cores this codes is running on.

setPortNumber :: PortNumber -> Settings -> Settings

Set the portnumber to use to connect on every node of the cluster.

setPrepareStrategy :: PrepareStrategy -> Settings -> Settings

Set strategy to use for preparing statements.

setProtocolVersion :: Version -> Settings -> Settings

Set the binary protocol version to use.

setResponseTimeout :: NominalDiffTime -> Settings -> Settings

Set the receive timeout of a connection. Requests exceeding the receive timeout will fail with a Timeout exception.

setSendTimeout :: NominalDiffTime -> Settings -> Settings

Set the send timeout of a connection. Request exceeding the send will cause the connection to be closed and fail with ConnectionClosed exception.

setRetrySettings :: RetrySettings -> Settings -> Settings

Set default retry settings to use.

setMaxRecvBuffer :: Int -> Settings -> Settings

Set maximum receive buffer size.

The actual buffer size used will be the minimum of the CQL response size and the value set here.

Client monad

data Client a

retry :: MonadClient m => RetrySettings -> m a -> m a

Use given RetrySettings during execution of some client action.

shutdown :: MonadIO m => ClientState -> m ()

Terminate client state, i.e. end all running background checks and shutdown all connection pools. Once this is entered, the client will eventually be shut down, though an asynchronous exception can interrupt the wait for that to occur.

paginate :: (MonadClient m, Tuple a, Tuple b, RunQ q) => q R a b -> QueryParams a -> m (Page b)

Run a CQL read-only query against a Cassandra node.

This function is like query, but limits the result size to 10000 (default) unless there is an explicit size restriction given in QueryParams. The returned Page can be used to continue the query.

Please note that -- as of Cassandra 2.1.0 -- if your requested page size is equal to the result size, hasMore might be true and a subsequent nextPage will return an empty list in result.

This function will first ask the clients load-balancing Policy for some host and use its connection pool to acquire a connection for request transmission.

If all available hosts are busy (i.e. their connection pools are fully utilised), the function will block until a connection becomes available or the maximum wait-queue length has been reached.

Policies

data Policy

A policy defines a load-balancing strategy and generally handles host visibility.

Constructors

Policy

Fields

setup :: [Host] -> [Host] -> IO ()
