harlequin-cassandra 0.1.1

A Harlequin adapter for Cassandra.

harlequin-cassandra

[!CAUTION] This adapter is unstable and experimental.

Proceed with caution!

[!WARNING] This adapter does not aim to support Scylla.

[!NOTE] This adapter currently does not support execution profiles, load-balancing polices.

This is a Cassandra adapter for Harlequin.
It is based on Datastax' cassandra-driver.

Integration With Harlequin

Some quirks are to be expected.

Cassandra doesn't use cursor(s), thus HarlequinCursor and HarlequinConnection behave differently in this adapter.

A manual translation of cassandra-driver objects types to Python types is required for Apache Arrow to work correctly.

In this adapter, Transaction Modes refers to Cassandra's consistency levels.

harlequin-cassandra depends on harlequin, so installing this package will also install Harlequin.

To install this adapter into an activated virtual environment:

pip install harlequin-cassandra
