Subscribe to Cassandra Commit Log

[Vineet Mishra <cl...@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

I am around with a use case to extract/fetch the Cassandra specific
Insert/update events, had been through a project on github(
https://github.com/carloscm/cassandra-commitlog-extract) but I am not sure
whether this provides the real time replication functionality or not which
is the case in RDBMS replication environment.

Was looking if anyone has been through such requirement or use case?

Any leads would be highly appreciable.

Thanks!

I'm not sure what the state of documentation is for Change Data Capture.
The best docs may be the design document linked in the comments on the
ticket, which I think is current.

I believe this sounds like a CDC use case. Trust the discussion on the
ticket more than my summary here, but: the changes in CASSANDRA-8844 expose
some previously-internal commitlog-reading behavior. This allows users to
implement their own code to consume changes to commitlogs on tables where
the feature is enabled.

Also any update on the tentative release of this branch?

The patch is currently under review, but currently targeting a 3.8 release.
3.8 should be released in the next two months as part of the tick-tock
release schedule.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for highlighting the updates, well is there any documentation for
this feature, perhaps what I am looking for is the reading the commit logs
in real time to capture all the updates fired to the corresponding tables.

Also any update on the tentative release of this branch?

Thanks!

Have a look at CASSANDRA-8844, which is not merged to trunk yet, but will
be soon:
