Simple Cassandra database migration program

Project description

Simple Cassandra schema migration tool.

Installation

Runpip install cassandra-migrate, or python ./setup.py

Reasoning

Unlike other available tools, this one: - Written in Python for easy installation - Does not require cqlsh, just the Python driver - Supports baselining existing database to given versions - Supports partial advancement - Supports locking for concurrent instances using Lightweight Transactions - Verifies stored migrations against configured migrations - Stores content, checksum, date and state of every migration - Supports deploying with different keyspace configurations for different environments

Configuration

Databases are configured through YAML files. For example:

keyspace: herbie
profiles:
  prod:
    replication:
      class: SimpleStrategy
      replication_factor: 3
migrations_path: ./migrations

Where the migrations folder (relative to the config file). contains .cql files.

The files are loaded in lexical order. The default convention is name them in the form: v001_my_migration.cql.

Profiles

Profiles can be defined in the configuration file. They can configure the replication and durable_writes parameters for CREATE KEYSPACE. A default dev profile is implicitly defined using a replication factor of 1.

Usage

Common parameters:

-H HOSTS, --hosts HOSTS
                      Comma-separated list of contact points
-p PORT, --port PORT  Connection port
-u USER, --user USER  Connection username
-P PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD
                      Connection password
-c CONFIG_FILE, --config-file CONFIG_FILE
                      Path to configuration file
-m PROFILE, --profile PROFILE
                      Name of keyspace profile to use

migrate

Advances a database to the latest (or chosen) version of migrations. Creates the keyspace and migrations table if necessary.

Migrate will refuse to run if a previous attempt failed. To override that after cleaning up any leftovers (as Cassandra has no DDL transactions), use the --force option.

Examples:

# Migrate to the latest database version using the default configuration file,
# connecting to Cassandra in the local machine.
cassandra-migrate -H 127.0.0.1 migrate

# Migrate to version 2 using a specific config file.
cassandra-migrate -c mydb.yml migrate 2

# Migrate to a version by name.
cassandra-migrate migrate v005_my_changes.cql

# Force migration after a failure
cassandra-migrate migrate 2 --force

reset

Reset the database by dropping an existing keyspace, then running a migration.

Examples:

# Reset the database to the latest version
cassandra-migrate reset

# Reset the database to a specifis version
cassandra-migrate reset 3

baseline

Advance an existing database version without actually running the migrations.

Useful for starting to manage a pre-existing database without recreating it from scratch.

Examples:

# Baseline the existing database to the latest version
cassandra-migrate baseline

# Baseline the existing database to a specific version
cassandra-migrate baseline 5

status

Print the current status of the database.

Example:

cassandra-migrate status

generate

Generate a new empty migration file with an incremented version, with a file named using the basic convention (vNNN_description.cql) in the configured migrations_path.

Example:

cassandra-migrate generate "My migration description"

TODO

  • Implement status

  • Ask for confirmation before applying dangerous commands

  • Support Python migrations (instead of just CQL)
