Solr & Cassandra: Searching Cassandra with DataStax Enterprise

Wait! Back away from the Cassandra secondary index. It’s ok for some use cases, but it’s not an easy button. “But I need to search through a bunch of columns to look for the data… and I can’t model that in C*, even after watching all of Patrick McFadins data modeling videos. What do I do?” The answer, dear developer, is in DSE Search. With it’s easy Solr API, Lucene indexes (and fault tolerance) you can search data stored in your Cassandra database until your heart’s content. Take my hand. I will show you how.

  31. 31. Confidential 31 1) Spin up a new C* Cluster with search enabled using the DSE installer. $ sudo service dse cassandra -s 2) Run your schema DDL to create the C* keyspace and tables. 3) Run dse_tool on the videos table $ dsetool create_core killrvideo.videos generateResources=true 4) Use the Solr Admin to check sanity and make sure you have a core. 5) Write a CQL query with a Solr Search in it. SELECT * FROM killrvideo.videos WHERE solr_query='{ "q": "{!edismax qf="name^2 tags^1 description "}datastax" }';
