Go REST on Cassandra

Instructions

1. Prepare environment

   cd $GOPATH/src/github.com
   git clone git@github.com:bygui86/go-cassandra.git
   cd bygui86/go-cassandra
   go get ./...
   

2. Run cassandra

   docker run -d --name cassandra -p 7199:7199 -p 7000:7000 -p 7001:7001 -p 9160:9160 -p 9042:9042 cassandra
   

3. Create Cassandra keyspace and table

   1. Open CQL connection

       docker exec -it cassandra cqlsh $(docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' cassandra)
      

   2. Create Cassandra keyspace

       CREATE KEYSPACE golang WITH replication = {'class': 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor' : 1};
      

   3. Create Cassandra table

       USE golang;
       CREATE TABLE users ( id UUID, firstname text, lastname text, age int, email text, city text, PRIMARY KEY (id) );
      

4. Run application

   cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/bygui86/go-cassandra
   go run main.go
