Cassandra resolves pluggable extensions by class name from configuration, schema, and tooling inputs. These names were loaded with an initializing Class.forName(name) and type-checked only afterward, so the named class ran its static initializer before its type was confirmed. After this change such classes will be loaded without initialization, verified against the expected interface or base class, and initialized only through normal use after validation. A shared FBUtilities.classForNameWithoutInitialization helper and typed instanceOrConstruct/construct overloads apply this to the configurable extension points loaded by class name: the guardrail value generator and validator, disk-error handler, Accord agent, TCM extension values, the authentication backends and mutual-TLS validators, seed provider, snitch and its location providers, abstract types, secondary and custom indexes, compaction strategy, compressor, replication strategy (including its metadata serializers), SASI analyzers, key and cache providers, query handler, storage and stream hooks, tracing, the JMX authorization proxy, MBeans, clocks, nodetool Sjk, triggers, the memtable factory contract, the guardrails config provider, the auto-repair token-range splitter, crypto provider, SSL context factory, the sstableloader and stress class options, and diagnostic event classes. ParameterizedClass.newInstance also takes an expected type and loads without initialization. Regression tests confirm that an invalid-type load is rejected without initializing the target class, and that valid implementations still resolve. Hard-coded JDK and internal class probes are left unchanged. patch by Jeremiah Jordan; reviewed by <reviewer> for CASSANDRA-21525 |

Rows are organized into tables with a required primary key. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA2/Partitioners[Partitioning] means that Cassandra can distribute your data across multiple machines in an application-transparent matter. Cassandra will automatically repartition as machines are added and removed from the cluster. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CASSANDRA2/DataModel[Row store] means that like relational databases, Cassandra organizes data by rows and columns. The Cassandra Query Language (CQL) is a close relative of SQL. For more information, see https://cassandra.apache.org/[the Apache Cassandra web site]. Issues should be reported on https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/CASSANDRA/issues/[The Cassandra Jira]. Requirements ------------ - Java: see supported versions in build.xml (search for property "java.supported"). - Python: for `cqlsh`, see `bin/cqlsh` (search for function "is_supported_version"). Getting started --------------- This short guide will walk you through getting a basic one node cluster up and running, and demonstrate some simple reads and writes. For a more-complete guide, please see the Apache Cassandra website's https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/trunk/cassandra/getting-started/index.html[Getting Started Guide]. First, we'll unpack our archive: $ tar -zxvf apache-cassandra-$VERSION.tar.gz $ cd apache-cassandra-$VERSION After that we start the server. Running the startup script with the -f argument will cause Cassandra to remain in the foreground and log to standard out; it can be stopped with ctrl-C. $ bin/cassandra -f Now let's try to read and write some data using the Cassandra Query Language: $ bin/cqlsh The command line client is interactive so if everything worked you should be sitting in front of a prompt: ---- Connected to Test Cluster at localhost:9160. [cqlsh 6.3.0 | Cassandra 7.0-SNAPSHOT | CQL spec 3.4.8 | Native protocol v5] Use HELP for help. cqlsh> ---- As the banner says, you can use 'help;' or '?' to see what CQL has to offer, and 'quit;' or 'exit;' when you've had enough fun. But lets try something slightly more interesting: ---- cqlsh> CREATE KEYSPACE schema1 WITH replication = { 'class' : 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor' : 1 }; cqlsh> USE schema1; cqlsh:Schema1> CREATE TABLE users ( user_id varchar PRIMARY KEY, first varchar, last varchar, age int ); cqlsh:Schema1> INSERT INTO users (user_id, first, last, age) VALUES ('jsmith', 'John', 'Smith', 42); cqlsh:Schema1> SELECT * FROM users; user_id | age | first | last ---------+-----+-------+------- jsmith | 42 | john | smith cqlsh:Schema1> ---- If your session looks similar to what's above, congrats, your single node cluster is operational! For more on what commands are supported by CQL, see https://cassandra.apache.org/doc/trunk/cassandra/developing/cql/index.html[the CQL reference]. A reasonable way to think of it is as, "SQL minus joins and subqueries, plus collections."
