Best practise on doing Cassandra Connection?

[Muhammad Sumyandityo Noor]

Hello Folks,

I'm new in Clojure and Cassandra. I'm creating a very simple service discovery service to replace the old one written and utilizing REST using compojure, liberator, and cassaforte. This is my first project utilising Clojure.

My concern is in the connection within the app. What's the best practise for REST based service for connecting to Cassandra. I'd searching in google and still cannot get the definitive answer. Is it batter to have a default persistent connection used by all endpoints or use different connection each time request arrives in endpoint. My application traffic only comes for clusters within the datacenter.

Thanks,

Didiet.

Use a single connection.

I'm wondering how client/connect works - I'd like to use it to create a session on application startup, and then have all mini services use that session to write/read. Does it use a connection pool that is later used by execute commands? Or would it create a new connection each time?

Thanks,

Anna

A session holds connections to a Cassandra cluster, allowing it to be queried.

Each session maintains multiple connections to the cluster nodes,

provides policies to choose which node to use for each query (round-robin on

all nodes of the cluster by default), and handles retries for failed query (when

it makes sense), etc...

Session instances are thread-safe and usually a single instance is enough

per application. However, a given session can only be set to one keyspace

at a time, so one instance per keyspace is necessary.

There's also a connection pool per host. All queries are executed asynchronously

(underneath). There are also means in the driver itself to execute them in an

async manner.

Super quick reply! Thanks, think clears things up.

np,

Thanks for using Cassaforte!
