Cassandra client library for PHP, which support Protocol v3 (Cassandra 2.1) and asynchronous request

Features

• Using Protocol v3 (Cassandra 2.1)
• Support ssl/tls with stream transport layer
• Support asynchronous and synchronous request
• Support for logged, unlogged and counter batches
• The ability to specify the consistency, "serial consistency" and all flags defined in the protocol
• Support Query preparation and execute
• Support all data types conversion and binding, including collection types, tuple and UDT
• Support conditional update/insert
• 5 fetch methods (fetchAll, fetchRow, fetchPairs, fetchCol, fetchOne)
• Two transport layers - socket and stream.
• Using exceptions to report errors
• 800% performance improvement(async mode) than other php cassandra client libraries

Installation

PHP 5.4+ is required. There is no need for additional libraries.

If you want to use Bigint or Timestamp type, 64-bit system is required.

Append dependency into composer.json

	...
	"require": {
		...
		"duoshuo/php-cassandra": "dev-master"
	}
	...

Also you can just fetch project from Github and include in your code:

require 'php-cassandra-folder-on-your-computer/php-cassandra.php';

Basic Using

<?php

$nodes = [
	'127.0.0.1',		// simple way, hostname only
	'192.168.0.2:9042',	// simple way, hostname with port 
	[				// advanced way, array including username, password and socket options
		'host'		=> '10.205.48.70',
		'port'		=> 9042, //default 9042
		'username'	=> 'admin',
		'password'	=> 'pass',
		'socket'	=> [SO_RCVTIMEO => ["sec" => 10, "usec" => 0], //socket transport only
		],
	],
	[				// advanced way, using Connection\Stream, persistent connection
		'host'		=> '10.205.48.70',
		'port'		=> 9042,
		'username'	=> 'admin',
		'password'	=> 'pass',
		'class'		=> 'Cassandra\Connection\Stream',//use stream instead of socket, default socket. Stream may not work in some environment
		'connectTimeout' => 10, // connection timeout, default 5,  stream transport only
		'timeout'	=> 30, // write/recv timeout, default 30, stream transport only
		'persistent'	=> true, // use persistent PHP connection, default false,  stream transport only  
	],
	[				// advanced way, using SSL
		'class'		=> 'Cassandra\Connection\Stream', // "class" must be defined as "Cassandra\Connection\Stream" for ssl or tls
		'host'		=> 'ssl://10.205.48.70',// or 'tls://10.205.48.70'
		'port'		=> 9042,
		'username'	=> 'admin',
		'password'	=> 'pass',
	],
];

// Create a connection.
$connection = new Cassandra\Connection($nodes, 'my_keyspace');

//Connect
try
{
	$connection->connect();
}
catch (Cassandra\Exception $e)
{
	echo 'Caught exception: ',  $e->getMessage(), "\n";
	exit;//if connect failed it may be good idea not to continue
}


// Set consistency level for farther requests (default is CONSISTENCY_ONE)
$connection->setConsistency(Request::CONSISTENCY_QUORUM);

// Run query synchronously.
try
{
	$response = $connection->querySync('SELECT * FROM "users" WHERE "id" = ?', [new Cassandra\Type\Uuid('c5420d81-499e-4c9c-ac0c-fa6ba3ebc2bc')]);
}
catch (Cassandra\Exception $e)
{
}

Fetch Data

// Return a SplFixedArray containing all of the result set.
$rows = $response->fetchAll();		// SplFixedArray

// Return a SplFixedArray containing a specified index column from the result set.
$col = $response->fetchCol();		// SplFixedArray

// Return a assoc array with key-value pairs, the key is the first column, the value is the second column. 
$col = $response->fetchPairs();		// assoc array

// Return the first row of the result set.
$row = $response->fetchRow();		// ArrayObject

// Return the first column of the first row of the result set.
$value = $response->fetchOne();		// mixed

Query Asynchronously

// Return a statement immediately
try
{
	$statement1 = $connection->queryAsync($cql1);
	$statement2 = $connection->queryAsync($cql2);

	// Wait until received the response, can be reversed order
	$response2 = $statement2->getResponse();
	$response1 = $statement1->getResponse();


	$rows1 = $response1->fetchAll();
	$rows2 = $response2->fetchAll();
}
catch (Cassandra\Exception $e)
{
}

Using preparation and data binding

$preparedData = $connection->prepare('SELECT * FROM "users" WHERE "id" = :id');

$strictValues = Cassandra\Request\Request::strictTypeValues(
	[
		'id' => 'c5420d81-499e-4c9c-ac0c-fa6ba3ebc2bc',
	],
	$preparedData['metadata']['columns']
);

$response = $connection->executeSync(
	$preparedData['id'],
	$strictValues,
	Cassandra\Request\Request::CONSISTENCY_QUORUM,
	[
		'page_size' => 100,
		'names_for_values' => true,
		'skip_metadata' => true,
	]
);

$response->setMetadata($preparedData['result_metadata']);
$rows = $response->fetchAll();

Using Batch

$batchRequest = new Cassandra\Request\Batch();

// Append a prepared query
$preparedData = $connection->prepare('UPDATE "students" SET "age" = :age WHERE "id" = :id');
$values = [
	'age' => 21,
	'id' => 'c5419d81-499e-4c9c-ac0c-fa6ba3ebc2bc',
];
$batchRequest->appendQueryId($preparedData['id'], Cassandra\Request\Request::strictTypeValues($values, $preparedData['metadata']['columns']));

// Append a query string
$batchRequest->appendQuery(
	'INSERT INTO "students" ("id", "name", "age") VALUES (:id, :name, :age)',
	[
		'id' => new Cassandra\Type\Uuid('c5420d81-499e-4c9c-ac0c-fa6ba3ebc2bc'),
		'name' => new Cassandra\Type\Varchar('Mark'),
		'age' => 20,
	]
);

$response = $connection->syncRequest($batchRequest);
$rows = $response->fetchAll();
