Querying Data in Cassandra via Spark in a Java Maven Project

Question

I\'m trying to do a simple code where I create a schema, insert some tables, and then pull some information and print it out. However, I\'m getting an error. I\'m using the Data

Try running your CQL via cqlsh and you should get the same/similar error:

aploetz@cqlsh:stackoverflow> CREATE TABLE dept (id INT PRIMARY KEY, dname TEXT);
aploetz@cqlsh:stackoverflow> INSERT INTO dept (id, dname) VALUES (1553,Commerce);
<ErrorMessage code=2000 [Syntax error in CQL query] message="line 1:50 no viable alternative at
input ')' (... dname) VALUES (1553,Commerce[)]...)">

Put single quotes around "Commerce" and it should work:

session.execute(
                  "INSERT INTO tester.dept (id, dname) " +
                  "VALUES (" +
                      "1553," +
                      "'Commerce'" +
                      ");");

I'm getting a new error though now...

Also try running that from cqlsh.

aploetz@cqlsh:stackoverflow> SELECT * FROM emp WHERE role = 'IT Engineer';
code=2200 [Invalid query] message="No indexed columns present in by-columns clause with Equal operator"

This is happening because role is not defined as your primary key. Cassandra doesn't allow you to query by arbitrary column values. The best way to solve this one, is to create an additional query table called empByRole, with role as the partition key. Like this:

CREATE TABLE empByRole 
    (id INT, fname TEXT, lname TEXT, role TEXT,
    PRIMARY KEY (role,id)
);

aploetz@cqlsh:stackoverflow> INSERT INTO empByRole (id, fname, lname, role) VALUES (0001,'Angel','Pay','IT Engineer');
aploetz@cqlsh:stackoverflow> SELECT * FROM empByRole WHERE role = 'IT Engineer';

 role        | id | fname | lname
-------------+----+-------+-------
 IT Engineer |  1 | Angel |   Pay
