cqlsh

Am trying to enable client to node SSL encryption in my DSE server. My cqlshrc file looks like below [connection] hostname = 127.0.0.1 port = 9160 factory = cqlshlib.ssl.ssl_transport_factory [ssl] certfile = /path/to/dse_node0.cer validate = true ;; Optional, true by default. [certfiles] ;; Optional section, overrides the default certfile in the [ssl] section. 1.2.3.4 = /path/to/dse_node0.cer When I tried to login into cqlsh shell then am getting the below error Connection error: Could not connect to 127.0.0.1:9160 There are several possible causes I hope one of these solutions is helpful. 1)

How can I get list of all column families in keyspace in Cassandra using CQL 3? cqlsh> select columnfamily_name from system.schema_columnfamilies where keyspace_name = 'test'; columnfamily_name ------------------- commits foo has_all_types item_by_user test test2 user_by_item (7 rows) Or even more simply (if you are using cqlsh), switch over to your keyspace with use and then execute describe tables : cqlsh> use products; cqlsh:products> describe tables; itemmaster itemhierarchy companyitemfavorites testtable Note: The describe command is specific to cqlsh only. prayagupd CQL API supports both

I'm trying to perform an insert on a brand new install of Cassandra 2, and while I was able to set up a new keyspace and table just fine, I get the eror mentioned above when attempting to perform an insert. I dont' have any fancy multi server setup, it's just running one one computer with a test db hence my confusion with node configuration Commands used to create said items are: CREATE KEYSPACE demodb WITH REPLICATION = { 'class' : 'NetworkTopologyStrategy', 'DC1' : 3 }; USE demodb; CREATE TABLE users (user_name varchar, state varchar, birth_year bigint, PRIMARY KEY (user_name)); INSERT INTO

When importing a record with a large field inside (longer than 124214 characters) I am getting the error "field larger than field limit (131072)" I saw form other posts how to solve this on Python but I don't know if it is possible on CQLSH. Thanks mikea Take a look at this answer: _csv.Error: field larger than field limit (131072) You will need to add this solution to the top of the cqlsh file. So after: import csv import getpass csv.field_size_limit(sys.maxsize) Rather than hacking into the cqlsh file, there is a standard option provided by cassandra to change the field_size_limit . The
