Building Cassandra Storage Engine

You are viewing an old version of this article. View the current version here.

The code is at lp:maria-captains/maria/5.5-cassandra

The build process is not fully streamlined yet. It is known to work on Fedora 15 and OpenSUSE, known not to work on Ubuntu Oneiric Ocelot (see MDEV-501).

You'll need to

  • Install Cassandra (we tried 1.1.3 ... 1.1.5, 1.2 beta versions should work but haven't been tested)
  • Install the Thrift library (we used 0.8.0 and 0.9.0-trunk), only the C++ backend is needed.
    • We have installed it by compiling the source tarball downloaded from thrift.apache.org
  • edit storage/cassandra/CMakeLists.txt and modify the INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES directive to point to Thrift's include directory.
  • export LIBS="-lthrift", on another machine it was "-lthrift -ldl"
  • export LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/thrift/libs
  • Build the server

Testing can be done as follows:

  • Start Cassandra on localhost
  • Set PATH so that cqlsh and cassandra-cli binaries can be found
  • Run ./mysql-test-run t/cassandra.test
