ScyllaDB Rust Driver

This is a client-side driver for ScyllaDB written in pure Rust with a fully async API using Tokio. Although optimized for ScyllaDB, the driver is also compatible with Apache Cassandra®.

Note: this driver is officially supported but currently available in beta. Bug reports and pull requests are welcome!

Getting Started

The documentation book is a good place to get started. Another useful resource is the Rust and Scylla lesson on Scylla University.

Examples

let uri = "127.0.0.1:9042";

let session: Session = SessionBuilder::new().known_node(uri).build().await?;

if let Some(rows) = session.query("SELECT a, b, c FROM ks.t", &[]).await?.rows {
    for row in rows.into_typed::<(i32, i32, String)>() {
        let (a, b, c) = row?;
        println!("a, b, c: {}, {}, {}", a, b, c);
    }
}

Please see the full example program for more information. You can also run the example as follows if you have a Scylla server running:

SCYLLA_URI="127.0.0.1:9042" cargo run --example basic

All examples are available in the examples directory

Features and Roadmap

The driver supports the following:

• Asynchronous API
• Token-aware routing
• Shard-aware routing (specific to ScyllaDB)
• Prepared statements
• Query paging
• Compression (LZ4 and Snappy algorithms)
• CQL binary protocol version 4
• Batch statements
• Configurable load balancing policies
• Driver-side metrics
• TLS support - install openssl if you want to use it https://docs.rs/openssl/0.10.32/openssl/#automatic
• Configurable retry policies
• Authentication support
• CQL tracing

Ongoing efforts:

• CQL Events
• More tests
• More benchmarks
