public class DefsTables
extends java.lang.Object

SCHEMA_{KEYSPACES, COLUMNFAMILIES, COLUMNS}_CF are used to store Keyspace/ColumnFamily attributes to make schema load/distribution easy, it replaces old mechanism when local migrations where serialized, stored in system.Migrations and used for schema distribution. SCHEMA_KEYSPACES_CF layout: ascii => json_serialized_value ... Where is a name of keyspace e.g. "ks". SCHEMA_COLUMNFAMILIES_CF layout: composite(ascii, ascii) => json_serialized_value Where is a name of keyspace e.g. "ks"., first component of the column name is name of the ColumnFamily, last component is the name of the ColumnFamily attribute. SCHEMA_COLUMNS_CF layout: composite(ascii, ascii, ascii) => json_serialized value Where is a name of keyspace e.g. "ks". Cell names where made composite to support 3-level nesting which represents following structure: "ColumnFamily name":"column name":"column attribute" => "value" Example of schema (using CLI): schema_keyspaces ---------------- RowKey: ks => (column=durable_writes, value=true, timestamp=1327061028312185000) => (column=name, value="ks", timestamp=1327061028312185000) => (column=replication_factor, value=0, timestamp=1327061028312185000) => (column=strategy_class, value="org.apache.cassandra.locator.NetworkTopologyStrategy", timestamp=1327061028312185000) => (column=strategy_options, value={"datacenter1":"1"}, timestamp=1327061028312185000) schema_columnfamilies --------------------- RowKey: ks => (column=cf:bloom_filter_fp_chance, value=0.0, timestamp=1327061105833119000) => (column=cf:caching, value="NONE", timestamp=1327061105833119000) => (column=cf:column_type, value="Standard", timestamp=1327061105833119000) => (column=cf:comment, value="ColumnFamily", timestamp=1327061105833119000) => (column=cf:default_validation_class, value="org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.BytesType", timestamp=1327061105833119000) => (column=cf:gc_grace_seconds, value=864000, timestamp=1327061105833119000) => (column=cf:id, value=1000, timestamp=1327061105833119000) => (column=cf:key_alias, value="S0VZ", timestamp=1327061105833119000) ... part of the output omitted. schema_columns -------------- RowKey: ks => (column=cf:c:index_name, value=null, timestamp=1327061105833119000) => (column=cf:c:index_options, value=null, timestamp=1327061105833119000) => (column=cf:c:index_type, value=null, timestamp=1327061105833119000) => (column=cf:c:name, value="aGVsbG8=", timestamp=1327061105833119000) => (column=cf:c:validation_class, value="org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.AsciiType", timestamp=1327061105833119000)

Method Detail

loadFromKeyspace

public static java.util.Collection<KSMetaData> loadFromKeyspace()

Load keyspace definitions for the system keyspace (system.SCHEMA_KEYSPACES_CF)

Returns:

Collection of found keyspace definitions

mergeSchema

public static void mergeSchema(java.util.Collection<Mutation> mutations)
                        throws ConfigurationException,
                               java.io.IOException

Merge remote schema in form of mutations with local and mutate ks/cf metadata objects (which also involves fs operations on add/drop ks/cf)

Parameters:

mutations - the schema changes to apply

Throws:

ConfigurationException - If one of metadata attributes has invalid value

java.io.IOException - If data was corrupted during transportation or failed to apply fs operations
