stubbed cassandra for data storage

Question

I need an embedded cassandra for my project and I was wondering if I can use Stubbed Cassandra for data storage. Because I need a system to simulate CQL requests and responses.

Thanks everyone.

Answer 1

You cant use it as a real datastore. Use real cassandra as a real cassandra datastore. check out ccm which is probably more what your looking for.

There are wrappers for it in dtests (python) and the java driver uses it for testing and has a java wrapper.

Answer 2

I don't really have any experience at all with SCassandra but I worked on several projects using Apache Cassandra and there are some use cases like multidatacenter infrastructure to experiment and I don't think SCassandra can do it. So if you plan to do simple tests, that's fine, But advanced use cases really need to be tested in a real cassandra distribution.

Answer 3

As others have mentioned, you will need the real Cassandra for data storage. However, if you want to test CQL requests/responses then you can use this library:

• Cassandra-Spy

It runs an actual embedded Cassandra and also can simulate failures for inserts/selects. This helps you test your app's behaviour in failure cases. I wrote the library to address this specific use case.
