NAME

"Net::Async::CassandraCQL::Connection" - connect to a single Cassandra database node

DESCRIPTION

TODO

EVENTS

on_event $name, @args

A registered event occurred. @args will depend on the event name. Each is also available as its own event, with the name in lowercase. If the event is not one of the types recognised below, @args will contain the actual Protocol::CassandraCQL::Frame object.

on_topology_change $type, $node

The cluster topology has changed. $node is a packed socket address.

on_status_change $status, $node

The node's status has changed. $node is a packed socket address.

on_schema_change $type, $keyspace, $table

A keyspace or table schema has changed.

PARAMETERS

The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure":

username => STRING

password => STRING: Optional. Authentication details to use for "PasswordAuthenticator".

cql_version => INT: Optional. Version of the CQL wire protocol to negotiate during connection. Defaults to 1.

METHODS

$id = $conn->nodeid

Returns the connection's node ID (the string form of its IP address), which is used as its ID in the "system.peers" table.

$conn->connect( %args ) ==> $conn

Connects to the Cassandra node an send the "OPCODE_STARTUP" message. The returned Future will yield the connection itself on success.

Takes the following named arguments:

host => STRING

service => STRING

$conn->send_message( $opcode, $frame ) ==> ( $reply_opcode, $reply_frame, $reply_version )

Sends a message with the given opcode and Protocol::CassandraCQL::Frame for the message body. The returned Future will yield the response opcode, frame and version number (with the RESPONSE bit masked off).

This is a low-level method; applications should instead use one of the wrapper methods below.

$conn->startup ==> ()

Sends the initial connection setup message. On success, the returned Future yields nothing.

Normally this is not required as the "connect" method performs it implicitly.

$conn->options ==> $options

Requests the list of supported options from the server node. On success, the returned Future yields a HASH reference mapping option names to ARRAY references containing valid values.

$conn->query( $cql, $consistency, %other_args ) ==> ( $type, $result )

Performs a CQL query. On success, the values returned from the Future will depend on the type of query.

For "USE" queries, the type is "keyspace" and $result is a string giving the name of the new keyspace.

For "CREATE", "ALTER" and "DROP" queries, the type is "schema_change" and $result is a 3-element ARRAY reference containing the type of change, the keyspace and the table name.

For "SELECT" queries, the type is "rows" and $result is an instance of Protocol::CassandraCQL::Result containing the returned row data.

For other queries, such as "INSERT", "UPDATE" and "DELETE", the future returns nothing.

Any other arguments will be passed on to the underlying "build_query_frame" function of Protocol::CassandraCQL::Frames.

$conn->prepare( $cql ) ==> $query

Prepares a CQL query for later execution. On success, the returned Future yields an instance of Net::Async::CassandraCQL::Query.

$conn->execute( $id, $data, $consistency, %other_args ) ==> ( $type, $result )

Executes a previously-prepared statement, given its ID and the binding data. On success, the returned Future will yield results of the same form as the "query" method. $data should contain a list of encoded byte-string values. Any other arguments will be passed on to the underlying "build_execute_frame" function of Protocol::CassandraCQL::Frames.

Normally this method is not directly required - instead, use the "execute" method on the query object itself, as this will encode the parameters correctly.

$conn->register( $events ) ==> ()

Registers the connection's interest in receiving events of the types given in the ARRAY reference. Event names may be "TOPOLOGY_CHANGE", "STATUS_CHANGE" or "SCHEMA_CHANGE". On success, the returned Future yields nothing.

$conn->close_when_idle ==> $conn

If the connection is idle (has no outstanding queries), then it is closed immediately. If not, it is put into close-pending mode, where it will accept no more queries, and will close when the last pending one is complete.

Returns a future which will eventually yield the (closed) connection when it becomes closed.
