-
From the API type list, either select
Datastax to use CQL 3 (Cassandra Query
Language) with Cassandra, or select Hector to use CQL 2.
Note that the Hector API is
deprecated for the 2.0 or later version of Cassandra, but it is still
available for use in the Studio so that you can be flexible about the
version of the query language to be used with Cassandra 2.0.0.
-
Enter the host name or IP address of the Cassandra server in the
Server field.
-
Enter the port number of the Cassandra server in the Port field.
The wizard can connect to your Cassandra database without you having to specify
a port. The port you provide here is only for use in the Cassandra component
that you drop onto the design workspace from this centralized connection.
-
If you want to restrict your Cassandra connection to a particular
keyspace only, enter the keyspace in the Keyspace field.
If you leave this field blank, the wizard will list the column
families of all the existing keyspaces of the connected database when
you retrieve schemas.
-
If your Cassandra server requires authentication for database access,
select the Require authentication check
box and provide your username and password in the corresponding
fields.
