Check out if Cassandra ready

[Salih Kardan <ka...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I am a newbie to Cassandra and I am tring to write test cases to cassandra
with JUnit.
I use CassandraDaemon class to start cassandra in IntelliJ IDEA. I want to
wait
until Cassandra up and running before runnig test methods. How can I wait
until cassandra starts or
is there any way to check if cassandra is running (with Java)?

Thanks.

I recommend using CassandraUnit (https://github.com/jsevellec/cassandra-unit).
It makes using Cassandra in unit tests quite easy.

It allows you to start an embedded Cassandra synchronously with a single
simple method call, optionally load your schema and initial data, and
you're ready to start testing.

I'm using it in many unit tests (although formally it's not a unit test
anymore when relying on a cassandra node). The fantastic performance of
Cassandra even allows me to clear all column families and insert the test
fixture rows for each individual test case.

Good luck,
Tom
