Datatypes

PHP Driver supports all Cassandra datatypes

Background

Given

a running Cassandra cluster

Using Cassandra value types

Given

the following schema:

CREATE KEYSPACE simplex WITH replication = {
  'class': 'SimpleStrategy',
  'replication_factor': 1
};
USE simplex;
CREATE TABLE values (
  id int PRIMARY KEY,
  bigint_value bigint,
  decimal_value decimal,
  double_value double,
  float_value float,
  int_value int,
  varint_value varint,
  timestamp_value timestamp,
  blob_value blob,
  uuid_value uuid,
  timeuuid_value timeuuid,
  inet_value inet
);
INSERT INTO values (
  id,
  bigint_value,
  decimal_value,
  double_value,
  float_value,
  int_value,
  varint_value,
  timestamp_value,
  blob_value,
  uuid_value,
  timeuuid_value,
  inet_value
)
VALUES (
  0,
  -765438000,
  1313123123.234234234234234234123,
  3.141592653589793,
  3.14,
  4,
  67890656781923123918798273492834712837198237,
  1425691864001,
  varcharAsBlob('0x000000'),
  ab3352d9-4f7f-4007-a35a-e62aa7ab0b19,
  maxTimeuuid('2015-03-11 14:47:10+0000'),
  '200.199.198.197'
);

And

the following example:

<?php
$cluster   = Cassandra::cluster()->build();
$session   = $cluster->connect("simplex");
$result    = $session->execute("SELECT * FROM values");
$row       = $result->first();

foreach ($row as $name => $value) {
    if ($name !== "id") {
        echo "{$name} => {$value}" .PHP_EOL;
    }
}

When

it is executed

Then

its output should contain these lines in any order:

bigint_value => -765438000
blob_value => 0x3078303030303030
decimal_value => 1313123123.234234234234234234123
double_value => 3.1415926535898
float_value => 3.14000010490417
inet_value => 200.199.198.197
int_value => 4
timestamp_value => 1425691864001
timeuuid_value => 7f0a920f-c7fd-11e4-7f7f-7f7f7f7f7f7f
uuid_value => ab3352d9-4f7f-4007-a35a-e62aa7ab0b19
varint_value => 67890656781923123918798273492834712837198237

Using Cassandra tinyint and smallint types

Given

the following schema:

CREATE KEYSPACE simplex WITH replication = {
  'class': 'SimpleStrategy',
  'replication_factor': 1
};
USE simplex;
CREATE TABLE values (
  id int PRIMARY KEY,
  tinyint_value tinyint,
  smallint_value smallint,
);

And

the following example:

<?php
$cluster   = Cassandra::cluster()->build();
$session   = $cluster->connect("simplex");

$options   = array('arguments' =>
  array(1, new Cassandra\Tinyint(127), new Cassandra\Smallint(32767))
);
$session->execute("INSERT INTO values (id, tinyint_value, smallint_value) VALUES (?, ?, ?)", $options);

$result    = $session->execute("SELECT * FROM values");
$row       = $result->first();

foreach ($row as $name => $value) {
    if ($name != "id") {
        echo "{$name} => {$value}" .PHP_EOL;
    }
}

When

it is executed

Then

its output should contain:

smallint_value => 32767
tinyint_value => 127

Using Cassandra date type

Given

the following schema:

CREATE KEYSPACE simplex WITH replication = {
  'class': 'SimpleStrategy',
  'replication_factor': 1
};
USE simplex;
CREATE TABLE date_values (
  id int PRIMARY KEY,
  date_value date
);

And

the following example:

<?php
$cluster   = Cassandra::cluster()->build();
$session   = $cluster->connect("simplex");

$options   = array('arguments' => array(1, new Cassandra\Date(0)));
$session->execute("INSERT INTO date_values (id, date_value) VALUES (?, ?)", $options);

$result    = $session->execute("SELECT * FROM date_values");
$row       = $result->first();

echo "date_value => {$row['date_value']->toDateTime()->format('Y-m-d H:i:s')}" . PHP_EOL;

When

it is executed

Then

its output should contain:

date_value => 1970-01-01 00:00:00

Using Cassandra time type

Given

the following schema:

CREATE KEYSPACE simplex WITH replication = {
  'class': 'SimpleStrategy',
  'replication_factor': 1
};
USE simplex;
CREATE TABLE time_values (
  id int PRIMARY KEY,
  time_value time
);

And

the following example:

<?php
$cluster   = Cassandra::cluster()->build();
$session   = $cluster->connect("simplex");

$datetime = new \DateTime("1970-01-01T00:00:01+0000");
$options   = array('arguments' => array(1, Cassandra\Time::fromDateTime($datetime)));
$session->execute("INSERT INTO time_values (id, time_value) VALUES (?, ?)", $options);

$result    = $session->execute("SELECT * FROM time_values");
$row       = $result->first();

echo "time_value => {$row['time_value']}" . PHP_EOL;

When

it is executed

Then

its output should contain:

time_value => 1000000000
