Let’s go code diving!

Behind the scenes…// Videos by id CREATE TABLE videos ( videoid uuid, userid uuid, name text, description text, location text, location_type int, preview_image_location text, tags set<text>, added_date timestamp, PRIMARY KEY (videoid) );

// Index for tag keywords CREATE TABLE videos_by_tag ( tag text, videoid uuid, added_date timestamp, userid uuid, name text, preview_image_location text, tagged_date timestamp, PRIMARY KEY (tag, videoid) );

Not a great idea

Possible Index

// Videos by id CREATE TABLE videos ( videoid uuid, userid uuid, name text, description text, location text, location_type int, preview_image_location text, tags set<text>, added_date timestamp, PRIMARY KEY (videoid)

And th

is?

This?

This?

1) Spin up a new C* Cluster with search enabled using the DSE installer.

$ sudo service dse cassandra -s

2) Run your schema DDL to create the C* keyspace and tables.3) Run dse_tool on the videos table

$ dsetool create_core killrvideo.videos generateResources=true

4) Use the Solr Admin to check sanity and make sure you have a core.5) Write a CQL query with a Solr Search in it.

SELECT * FROM killrvideo.videos WHERE solr_query='{ "q": "{!edismax qf=\"name^2 tags^1 description\”}?" }';

Search all of the things in 5 easy steps…

Now you get this!

SELECT name FROM videos WHERE solr_query = 'tags:crime*';

Attaching to Spark and Cassandra

// Import Cassandra-specific functions on SparkContext and RDD objectsimport org.apache.spark.{SparkContext, SparkConf}import com.datastax.spark.connector._

/** The setMaster("local") lets us run & test the job right in our IDE */val conf = new SparkConf(true) .set("spark.cassandra.connection.host", "127.0.0.1") .setMaster(“local[*]") .setAppName(getClass.getName) // Optionally .set("cassandra.username", "cassandra") .set("cassandra.password", “cassandra") val sc = new SparkContext(conf)

Comment table example

CREATE TABLE comments_by_video ( videoid uuid, commentid timeuuid, userid uuid, comment text, PRIMARY KEY (videoid, commentid) ) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (commentid DESC);

Simple example

/** keyspace & table */val tableRDD = sc.cassandraTable("killrvideo", “comments_by_video”) /** get a simple count of all the rows in the raw_weather_data table */val rowCount = tableRDD.count()println(s"Total Rows in Comments Table: $rowCount") sc.stop()

Simple example/** keyspace & table */val tableRDD = sc.cassandraTable("killrvideo", “comments_by_video”) /** get a simple count of all the rows in the comments_by_video table */val rowCount = tableRDD.count()println(s"Total Rows in Comments Table: $rowCount") sc.stop()

Executer

SELECT * FROM killrvideo.comments_by_video

Spark RDD

Spark Connector

Using CQL

SELECT useridFROM comments_by_videoWHERE videoid = '01860584-de45-018f-12be-5f81704e8033'

val cqlRRD = sc.cassandraTable("killrvideo", “comments_by_video”) .select("userid") .where("videoid = ?”, “01860584-de45-018f-12be-5f81704e8033")

Even SQL!

spark-sql> SELECT cast(videoid as String) videoid, count(*) c FROM comments_by_video GROUP BY cast(videoid as String) ORDER BY c DESC limit 10;

Saving back to Cassandra

// Create insert dataval collection = sc.parallelize(Seq(("01860584-de45-018f-12be-5f81704e8033", "Great video", "cdaf6bd5-8914-29e0-f0b6-8b0bc6156777"), ("01860584-de45-018f-12be-5f81704e8033", "Hated it", "cdaf6bd5-8914-29e0-f0b6-8b0bc6156777"))) // Insert data into tablecollection.saveToCassandra("killrvideo", "comments_by_video", SomeColumns("videoid", "comment", "userid"))

val solrQueryRDD = sc.cassandraTable("killrvideo", “videos") .select("name").where("solr_query='tags:crime*'") solrQueryRDD.collect().map(row => println(row.getString("name")))
