Connection String Parameters for Cassandra
The connection string properties are the various options that can be used to establish a connection. This section provides a complete list of the options you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
Name | Description |
AggregationsSupported | Whether or not to support aggregations in the Cassandra server. Note that in queries to the provider, you must use single quotes to define strings. |
AllowFiltering | When true, slow-performing queries are processed on the server. |
AuthScheme | The scheme used for authentication. Accepted entries are BASIC, DSE, KERBEROS, and LDAP. |
AutoCache | Automatically caches the results of SELECT queries into a cache database specified by either CacheLocation or both of CacheConnection and CacheProvider . |
CacheConnection | The connection string for the cache database. This property is always used in conjunction with CacheProvider . Setting both properties will override the value set for CacheLocation for caching data. |
CacheLocation | Specifies the path to the cache when caching to a file. |
CacheMetadata | This property determines whether or not to cache the table metadata to a file store. |
CacheProvider | The name of the provider to be used to cache data. |
CacheTolerance | The tolerance for stale data in the cache specified in seconds when using AutoCache . |
CaseSensitivity | Enable case sensitivity to the CQL sending to the server, if set to True, the identifiers in the CQL will be enclosed in double quotation marks. |
ConnectionLifeTime | The maximum lifetime of a connection in seconds. Once the time has elapsed, the connection object is disposed. |
ConsistencyLevel | The consistency level determines how many of the replicas of the data you are interacting with need to respond for the query to be considered a success. |
Database | The name of the Cassandra keyspace. |
DefaultLDAPUser | The default LDAP user used to connect to and communicate with the server, it must be set if the LDAP server do not allow anonymous bind. |
FirewallPassword | A password used to authenticate to a proxy-based firewall. |
FirewallPort | The TCP port for a proxy-based firewall. |
FirewallServer | The name or IP address of a proxy-based firewall. |
FirewallType | The protocol used by a proxy-based firewall. |
FirewallUser | The user name to use to authenticate with a proxy-based firewall. |
FlattenArrays | By default, nested arrays are returned as strings of JSON. The FlattenArrays property can be used to flatten the elements of nested arrays into columns of their own. Set FlattenArrays to the number of elements you want to return from nested arrays. |
FlattenObjects | Set FlattenObjects to true to flatten object properties into columns of their own. Otherwise, objects nested in arrays are returned as strings of JSON. |
KerberosKDC | The Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) service used to authenticate the user. |
KerberosKeytabFile | The Keytab file containing your pairs of Kerberos principals and encrypted keys. |
KerberosRealm | The Kerberos Realm used to authenticate the user with. |
KerberosServiceKDC | The Kerberos KDC of the service. |
KerberosServiceRealm | The Kerberos realm of the service. |
KerberosSPN | The service principal name (SPN) for the Kerberos Domain Controller. |
KerberosTicketCache | The full file path to an MIT Kerberos credential cache file. |
LDAPPassword | The password of the default LDAP user. It must be set if the LDAP server do not allow anonymous bind. |
LDAPPort | The port for the LDAP server. |
LDAPServer | The host name or IP address of the LDAP server. |
Location | A path to the directory that contains the schema files defining tables, views, and stored procedures. |
Logfile | A path to the log file. |
MaxLogFileCount | A string specifying the maximum file count of log files. When the limit is hit, a new log is created in the same folder with the date and time appended to the end and the oldest log file will be deleted. |
MaxLogFileSize | A string specifying the maximum size in bytes for a log file (for example, 10 MB). When the limit is hit, a new log is created in the same folder with the date and time appended to the end. |
MaxRows | Limits the number of rows returned rows when no aggregation or group by is used in the query. This helps avoid performance issues at design time. |
NullToUnset | Use unset instead of NULL in CQL query when performing INSERT operations. |
Offline | Use offline mode to get the data from the cache instead of the live source. |
Other | These hidden properties are used only in specific use cases. |
Pagesize | The maximum number of results to return per page from Cassandra Server. |
Password | The password used to authenticate with Cassandra. |
PoolIdleTimeout | The allowed idle time for a connection before it is closed. |
PoolMaxSize | The maximum connections in the pool. |
PoolMinSize | The minimum number of connections in the pool. |
PoolWaitTime | The max seconds to wait for an available connection. |
Port | The port for the Cassandra database. |
PseudoColumns | This property indicates whether or not to include pseudo columns as columns to the table. |
QueryPassthrough | This option passes the query to the Cassandra server as is. |
Readonly | You can use this property to enforce read-only access to Cassandra from the provider. |
RowScanDepth | The maximum number of rows to scan to look for the columns available in a table. Set this property to gain more control over how the provider applies data types to collections. |
RTK | The runtime key used for licensing. |
SearchBase | The search base for your LDAPServer, used to look up users. |
SearchFilter | The search filter for looking up usernames in LDAP. The default setting is (uid=), When using Active Directory set the filter to (sAMAccountName=). |
Server | The host name or IP address of the server hosting the Cassandra database. |
SSLClientCert | The TLS/SSL client certificate store for SSL Client Authentication (2-way SSL). |
SSLClientCertPassword | The password for the TLS/SSL client certificate. |
SSLClientCertSubject | The subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate. |
SSLClientCertType | The type of key store containing the TLS/SSL client certificate. |
SSLServerCert | The certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL. |
SupportEnhancedSQL | This property enhances SQL functionality beyond what can be supported through the API directly, by enabling in-memory client-side processing. |
Tables | This property restricts the tables reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC. |
Timeout | The value in seconds until the timeout error is thrown, canceling the operation. |
UseConnectionPooling | This property enables connection pooling. |
UseJsonFormat | Whether to submit and return the JSON encoding for CQL data types. |
User | The username used to authenticate with Cassandra. |
UseSSL | This field sets whether SSL is enabled. |
VarintToString | Map Cassandra VARINT to String value. |
Verbosity | The verbosity level that determines the amount of detail included in the log file. |
Views | Restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC. |
