Cassandra client library for PHP

Cassandra client library for PHP, which supports Protocol v5 (Cassandra 4.x) and asynchronous requests.

https://packagist.org/packages/mroosz/php-cassandra

Features

• Using Protocol v5 (Cassandra 4.x)
• Supports ssl/tls with stream transport layer
• Supports asynchronous and synchronous requests
• Support for logged, unlogged and counter batches
• The ability to specify the consistency, "serial consistency" and all flags defined in the protocol
• Supports query preparation
• Supports all data types, including collection types, tuples and UDTs
• Supports conditional update/insert
• 5 fetch methods (fetchAll, fetchRow, fetchPairs, fetchCol, fetchOne)
• Two transport layers - socket and stream.
• Uses exceptions to report errors

Installation

PHP 8.1+ is required. There is no need for additional libraries.

If you want to use the Bigint, Counter, Duration, Time or Timestamp types, a 64-bit system is required.

Using composer to install is recommended.

composer require mroosz/php-cassandra

However, you may also fetch the repository from Github and load it via its own class loader:

require __DIR__ . '/php-cassandra/php-cassandra.php';

Basic Usage

<?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/TLS
        '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',
        'ssl'        => ['verify_peer' => false, 'verify_peer_name' => false], // disable certificate verification
        //'ssl'        => ['cafile' => 'cassandra.pem', 'verify_peer_name'=>false] // with SSL certificate validation, no name check
    ],
];

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

//Connect
try
{
    $connection->connect();
}
catch (\Cassandra\Exception $e)
{
    echo 'Caught exception: ',  $e->getMessage(), "\n";
}


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

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

Fetch Data

// Return an array containing all of the result set.
$rows = $result->fetchAll();   // array

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

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

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

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

Iterate over result

// Print all roles
$result = $connection->querySync("SELECT role FROM system_auth.roles");
foreach($result AS $rowNo => $rowContent)
{
    echo $rowContent['role']."\n";
}

Query Asynchronously

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

    // Wait until received the result, can be reversed order
    $result2 = $statement2->getResult();
    $result1 = $statement1->getResult();


    $rows1 = $result1->fetchAll();
    $rows2 = $result2->fetchAll();
}
catch (\Cassandra\Exception $e)
{
}

Using preparation and data binding

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

$values = [
    'id' => 'c5420d81-499e-4c9c-ac0c-fa6ba3ebc2bc',
];

$result = $connection->executeSync(
    $prepareResult,
    $values,
    \Cassandra\Request\Request::CONSISTENCY_QUORUM,
    [
        'page_size' => 100,
        'names_for_values' => true,
    ]
);

$rows = $result->fetchAll();

Using Batch

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

// Append a prepared query
$prepareResult = $connection->prepare('UPDATE "students" SET "age" = :age WHERE "id" = :id');

$values = [
    'age' => 21,
    'id' => 'c5419d81-499e-4c9c-ac0c-fa6ba3ebc2bc',
];

$batchRequest->appendPreparedStatement($prepareResult, $values);

// 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,
    ]
);

$result = $connection->batchSync($batchRequest);
$rows = $result->fetchAll();

Listening for events

$connection->addEventListener(new class () implements \Cassandra\EventListener {
