FAQ

Facts in faq.

What is supported by the API ?

The api supports only CQL 3.0. All operations supported by CQL 3.0 is also supported by cassandra-sharp. Async operations and efficient connection usage are supported.

Features

cassandra-sharp supports the following features:

• .NET 4.0 + compatible
• TPL integration (compatible with C# 5 async)
• async operations
• streaming support with IEnumerable<>
• extensible rowset mapping
• robust connection handling (connection can be recovered)

Will cassandra-sharp support Snappy one day ?

Well, maybe. I do not feel the need to have this right now. There is almost no gain in compressing CQL query and data can be compressed other way. But contributions are welcomed anyway.

Will cassandra-sharp support server notifications ?

Yes it will but in future version (probable 2.2). Meanwhile, I prefer to focus on core only.

Bounded execution time (aka timeout)

Specify a timeout when using AsFuture(). You will get an OperationCanceledException if the query last longer than expected.

How to copy database content to Cassandra
