Cassandra Data Modeling Tools
|
||
=============================
|
||
|
||
There are several tools available to help you design and
|
||
manage your Cassandra schema and build queries.
|
||
|
||
* `Hackolade <https://hackolade.com/nosqldb.html#cassandra>`_
|
||
is a data modeling tool that supports schema design for Cassandra and
|
||
many other NoSQL databases. Hackolade supports the unique concepts of
|
||
CQL such as partition keys and clustering columns, as well as data types
|
||
including collections and UDTs. It also provides the ability to create
|
||
Chebotko diagrams.
|
||
|
||
* `Kashlev Data Modeler <http://kdm.dataview.org/>`_ is a Cassandra
|
||
data modeling tool that automates the data modeling methodology
|
||
described in this documentation, including identifying
|
||
access patterns, conceptual, logical, and physical data modeling, and
|
||
schema generation. It also includes model patterns that you can
|
||
optionally leverage as a starting point for your designs.
|
||
|
||
* DataStax DevCenter is a tool for managing
|
||
schema, executing queries and viewing results. While the tool is no
|
||
longer actively supported, it is still popular with many developers and
|
||
is available as a `free download <https://academy.datastax.com/downloads>`_.
|
||
DevCenter features syntax highlighting for CQL commands, types, and name
|
||
literals. DevCenter provides command completion as you type out CQL
|
||
commands and interprets the commands you type, highlighting any errors
|
||
you make. The tool provides panes for managing multiple CQL scripts and
|
||
connections to multiple clusters. The connections are used to run CQL
|
||
commands against live clusters and view the results. The tool also has a
|
||
query trace feature that is useful for gaining insight into the
|
||
performance of your queries.
|
||
|
||
* IDE Plugins - There are CQL plugins available for several Integrated
|
||
Development Environments (IDEs), such as IntelliJ IDEA and Apache
|
||
NetBeans. These plugins typically provide features such as schema
|
||
management and query execution.
|
||
|
||
Some IDEs and tools that claim to support Cassandra do not actually support
|
||
CQL natively, but instead access Cassandra using a JDBC/ODBC driver and
|
||
interact with Cassandra as if it were a relational database with SQL
|
||
support. Wnen selecting tools for working with Cassandra you’ll want to
|
||
make sure they support CQL and reinforce Cassandra best practices for
|
||
data modeling as presented in this documentation.
