Integrating Apache Cassandra with Apache Ignite

Question

I\'m trying to integrate Apache Ignite with Apache Cassandra(3.11.2) as I want to use Ignite to cache the data present in my already existing Cassandra database.

After go

Apache Ignite is a key-value database and there are no tables created by default that you are able to view with JDBC connector. CacheStore is a way to integrate Ignite with external DB or any other storage, and it loads data as a key-value pair.

In your config you said Ignite that you want to store and load entries in/from Cassandra, but still Ignite doesn't know entries structure (BTW Ignite really doesn't care what objects were putted into it).

To be able to list tables and do queries on it, you need to create tables. For that you need to have ignite-indexing in /lib directory and set QueryEntity or indexed types if you have annotated POJOs. Here is example of such configuration:

<bean class="org.apache.ignite.configuration.CacheConfiguration">
<property name="name" value="mycache"/>
<!-- Configure query entities -->
<property name="queryEntities">
    <list>
        <bean class="org.apache.ignite.cache.QueryEntity">
            <property name="keyType" value="java.lang.Long"/>
            <property name="valueType" value="org.apache.ignite.examples.Person"/>

            <property name="fields">
                <map>
                    <entry key="id" value="java.lang.Long"/>
                    <entry key="orgId" value="java.lang.Long"/>
                    <entry key="firstName" value="java.lang.String"/>
                    <entry key="lastName" value="java.lang.String"/>
                    <entry key="resume" value="java.lang.String"/>
                    <entry key="salary" value="java.lang.Double"/>
                </map>
            </property>

            <property name="indexes">
                <list>
                    <bean class="org.apache.ignite.cache.QueryIndex">
                        <constructor-arg value="id"/>
                    </bean>
                    <bean class="org.apache.ignite.cache.QueryIndex">
                        <constructor-arg value="orgId"/>
                    </bean>
                    <bean class="org.apache.ignite.cache.QueryIndex">
                        <constructor-arg value="salary"/>
                    </bean>
                </list>
            </property>
        </bean>
    </list>
</property>

If you configure that, you'll get an ability to enlist and query that tables over SQLine. (Please note, that you cannot query data that are not loaded into Ignite. To load them, you may use IgniteCache.get() with enabled readThrough option or IgniteCache.loadCache() to load everything from Cassandra table).

To query Cassandra with JDBC, you need a JDBC driver for it, try, for example DBSchema.
