Execute provided Cassandra Query Language (CQL) select query on a Cassandra 1.x, 2.x, or 3.0.x cluster. Query result may be converted to Avro or JSON format. Streaming is used so arbitrarily large result sets are supported. This processor can be scheduled to run on a timer, or cron expression, using the standard scheduling methods, or it can be triggered by an incoming FlowFile. If it is triggered by an incoming FlowFile, then attributes of that FlowFile will be available when evaluating the select query. FlowFile attribute 'executecql.row.count' indicates how many rows were selected.

In the list below, the names of required properties appear in bold. Any other properties (not in bold) are considered optional. The table also indicates any default values, whether a property supports the NiFi Expression Language, and whether a property is considered "sensitive", meaning that its value will be encrypted. Before entering a value in a sensitive property, ensure that the nifi.properties file has an entry for the property nifi.sensitive.props.key.
| Name | Default Value | Allowable Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cassandra Connection Provider | Controller Service API: CassandraSessionProviderService Implementation: CassandraSessionProvider | Specifies the Cassandra connection providing controller service to be used to connect to Cassandra cluster. | |
| Cassandra Contact Points | Contact points are addresses of Cassandra nodes. The list of contact points should be comma-separated and in hostname:port format. Example node1:port,node2:port,.... The default client port for Cassandra is 9042, but the port(s) must be explicitly specified. Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using variable registry only) | ||
| Keyspace | The Cassandra Keyspace to connect to. If no keyspace is specified, the query will need to include the keyspace name before any table reference, in case of 'query' native processors or if the processor exposes the 'Table' property, the keyspace name has to be provided with the table name in the form of <KEYSPACE>.<TABLE> Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using variable registry only) | ||
| SSL Context Service | Controller Service API: SSLContextService Implementations: StandardSSLContextService StandardRestrictedSSLContextService | The SSL Context Service used to provide client certificate information for TLS/SSL connections. | |
| Client Auth | REQUIRED |
| Client authentication policy when connecting to secure (TLS/SSL) cluster. Possible values are REQUIRED, WANT, NONE. This property is only used when an SSL Context has been defined and enabled. |
| Username | Username to access the Cassandra cluster Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using variable registry only) | ||
| Password | Password to access the Cassandra cluster Sensitive Property: true Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using variable registry only) | ||
| Consistency Level | ONE |
| The strategy for how many replicas must respond before results are returned. |
| Compression Type | NONE |
| Enable compression at transport-level requests and responses |
| Character Set | UTF-8 | Specifies the character set of the record data. Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using flow file attributes and variable registry) | |
| CQL select query | CQL select query Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using flow file attributes and variable registry) | ||
| Max Wait Time | 0 seconds | The maximum amount of time allowed for a running CQL select query. Must be of format <duration> <TimeUnit> where <duration> is a non-negative integer and TimeUnit is a supported Time Unit, such as: nanos, millis, secs, mins, hrs, days. A value of zero means there is no limit. Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using flow file attributes and variable registry) | |
| Fetch size | 0 | The number of result rows to be fetched from the result set at a time. Zero is the default and means there is no limit. Supports Expression Language: true (will be evaluated using variable registry only) | |
| Output Format | Avro |
| The format to which the result rows will be converted. If JSON is selected, the output will contain an object with field 'results' containing an array of result rows. Each row in the array is a map of the named column to its value. For example: { "results": [{"userid":1, "name":"Joe Smith"}]} |
| Timestamp Format Pattern for JSON output | yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ssZ | Pattern to use when converting timestamp fields to JSON. Note: the formatted timestamp will be in UTC timezone. |
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| retry | A FlowFile is transferred to this relationship if the operation cannot be completed but attempting it again may succeed. |
| success | A FlowFile is transferred to this relationship if the operation completed successfully. |
| failure | A FlowFile is transferred to this relationship if the operation failed. |
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| executecql.row.count | The number of rows returned by the CQL query |
