This repository provides source code samples and notes for the O'Reilly book Cassandra: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition.

Examples are available for the following chapters:

• Chapter 8 "Clients" - the com.cassandraguide.clients package contains examples of basic read, write and metadata operations available via the DataStax Java Driver
• Chapter 9 "Reading and writing" - the com.cassandraguide.readwrite package contains more advanced examples including batches, transactions and deletes
• Chapter 12 "Performance Tuning" - the com.cassandraguide.performance package contains a query tracing example
• Chapter 14 "Deploying and Integrating" - the com.cassandraguide.integration package contains an example using the DataStax Spark Cassandra Connector

Schema (CQL), cassandra-stress, and a sample .csv file for bulk import are available under resources.

These examples are not intended to represent a complete application, but are more of the bare minimum code required to access various Cassandra features . As such, the examples are useful for cut and paste into your applications according to the Apache license below. See the Reservation Service repository for a more well rounded example.

Comments, improvements and feedback are welcome.
