Export cassandra query result to a csv file

Question

I\'m new in cassandra, and I have to export the result of a specific query to a csv file.

I found the COPY command, but (from what I understand) it allo

Answer 1

With bash:

If you need to query the data (not possible with COPY TO) and if you need the final product to be importable (ie with COPY FROM):

cqlsh -e "SELECT * FROM bar WHERE column = 'baz' > raw_output.txt

Then you can reformat the output with sed

sed 's/\ //g; /^----.*/d; /^(/d; /^\s*$/d;' raw_output.txt | tee clean_output.csv

Which pretty much says

sed 'remove spaces; remove the column boarder; remove lines beginning with (COUNT X); and remove blank lines' | write output into clean_output.csv

The sed regexp's could be cleaned up to better suite your specific case, but thats the general idea.
