# casser ![build](https://travis-ci.org/noorq/casser.svg?branch=master) Java 8 Cassandra Client ### Features * Leverages Java 8 language capabilities to build CQL queries * Simple function-style API ### Requirements * Only JVM 8 * Datastax Driver * Maven ### Example Entity definition: ``` @Table("timelines") public interface Timeline { @PartitionKey UUID getUserId(); void setUserId(UUID uid); @ClusteringColumn @DataTypeName(Name.TIMEUUID) Date getTimestamp(); void setTimestamp(Date ts); @Column String getText(); void setText(String text); } ``` Session initialization: ``` Timeline timeline = Casser.dsl(Timeline.class); CasserSession session = Casser.init(getSession()).showCql().add(Timeline.class).autoCreateDrop().get(); ``` Select information: ``` session.select(timeline::getUserId, timeline::getTimestamp, timeline::getText) .where(timeline::getUserId, "==", userId) .orderBy(timeline::getTimestamp, "desc").limit(5).sync() .forEach(System.out::println); ``` Insert information: ``` Timeline post = Casser.pojo(Timeline.class); post.setUserId(userId); post.setTimestamp(new Date(postTime+1000L*i)); post.setText("hello"); session.upsert(post).sync(); ```
