Configuring Apache Cassandra as a Store Provider

You can use Apache Cassandra as a store provider for your TIBCO BusinessEvents application with or without cache.

You can use Cassandra for applications with the following cluster and cache combinations:

Before you begin

Download and install Apache Cassandra. Start the Cassandra server. For more information, see the Cassandra documentation.
Initialize and create tables on the Cassandra server. Sample initialize_database_cassandra.cql and create_tables_cassandra.cql files are provided located at BE_HOME/bin. For more details, see Initializing the Database and Generate Non-Project Tables.

Procedure

Open the project CDD file in TIBCO BusinessEvents Studio and on the Cluster tab, configure the cluster and cache as per your project requirements.

See:
- Configuring TIBCO FTL as the Cluster Provider
- Configuring Apache Ignite as a Cache Provider
Configure the CDD file to use a backing store for the project using either of the following ways:
- If you are not using any cache with the project, select Object Management and set the following values.
  - Object Management Mode - Store
  - Store Provider - Apache Cassandra
- If you are using Apache Ignite as the cache for the project, select Object Management > Persistence and set the following values.
  - Persistence Option - Store
  - Store Type - Apache Cassandra
Configure the Connection and Security fields.

See: Backing Store Settings Reference for Apache Cassandra
Generate a Cassandra schema for the project.

See: Generating Deployment Scripts for a Store.
Import the schema and generate Cassandra tables.

See: Initializing the Database and Generate Non-Project Tables
(Optional) Enable one-way (server-side encryption) or two-way SSL (server-side and client-side)authentication for your application in the Cassandra server. For more information, see Cassandra documentation.
