Apache...sandra(3pm)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is Apache...sandra(3pm) — a User Contributed Perl Documentation page — and it's literally about Apache::Session::Browseable::Cassandra, the Apache::Session backend that stores sessions in a Cassadra database. iconic, no cap 💅.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie, here's the code in all its glory — it's giving "tie a hash, set some fields, untie." the Index key in the args is the choose-your-browseable-fields moment, and the example uses '_whatToTrace _session_kind _utime iAddr':

use Apache::Session::Browseable::Cassandra;

my $args = {
     DataSource => 'dbi:Cassandra:host=localhost;keyspace=llng',
     UserName   => $db_user,
     Password   => $db_pass,

     # Choose your browseable fileds
     Index      => '_whatToTrace _session_kind _utime iAddr',
};

# Use it like Apache::Session
my %session;
tie %session, 'Apache::Session::Browseable::Cassandra', $id, $args;
$session{uid} = 'me';
$session{mail} = 'me@me.com';
$session{unindexedField} = 'zz';
untie %session;

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Apache::Session::Browseable::Cassandra is an implementation of Apache::Session for Cassandra database. periodt. that's the description, and it ate.

🎀 SCHEMA 🎀

to use this module, you will need at least these columns in a table called 'sessions' — highkey the table is main character energy:

id text
a_session text

to create this schema, you can execute this command using cqlsh:

CREATE TABLE sessions (
   id text PRIMARY KEY,
   a_session text
);

🦋 CONFIGURATION 🦋

vibe check: the module must know what datasource, username, and password to use when connecting to the database. these values can be set using the options hash (see Apache::Session documentation). the options are DataSource, UserName, and Password.

• DataSource — the datasource it needs for the connection.
• UserName — the database username.
• Password — the database password.

Example:

tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Cassandra', $id, {
    DataSource => 'dbi:Cassandra:host=localhost;keyspace=llng',
    UserName   => 'database_user',
    Password   => 'K00l'
};

there's also the handle route: Handle — instead, you may pass in an already-opened DBI handle to your database.

tie %hash, 'Apache::Session::Cassandra', $id, {
    Handle => $dbh
};
