Other

• cqlengine: a major improvement on queryset has been introduced. It is a lot more efficient to iterate large datasets: the rows are now fetched on demand using the driver pagination.

• cqlengine: the queryset len() and count() behaviors have changed. It now executes a “SELECT COUNT(*)” of the query rather than returning the size of the internal result_cache (loaded rows). On large queryset, you might want to avoid using them due to the performance cost. Note that trying to access objects using list index/slicing with negative indices also requires a count to be executed.

• Support for user-defined types (Cassandra 2.1+)

• Support for tuple type in (limited usage Cassandra 2.0.9, full usage in Cassandra 2.1)

• Protocol-level client-side timestamps (see Session.use_client_timestamp)

• Overridable type encoding for non-prepared statements (see Session.encoders)

• Configurable serial consistency levels for batch statements

• Use io.BytesIO for reduced CPU consumption (github #143)

• Support Twisted as a reactor. Note that a Twisted-compatible API is not exposed (so no Deferreds), this is just a reactor implementation. (github #135, PYTHON-8)

Bug Fixes

• Fix references to xrange that do not go through “six” in libevreactor and geventreactor (github #138)

• Make BoundStatements inherit fetch_size from their parent PreparedStatement (PYTHON-80)

• Clear reactor state in child process after forking to prevent errors with multiprocessing when the parent process has connected a Cluster before forking (github #141)

2.0.2

June 10, 2014

Bug Fixes

Merged From 1.x

Features

• Add Session.default_consistency_level (PYTHON-14)

Bug Fixes

• Don’t strip trailing underscores from column names when using the named_tuple_factory (PYTHON-56)

• Ensure replication factors are ints for NetworkTopologyStrategy to avoid TypeErrors (github #120)

• Pass WriteType instance to RetryPolicy.on_write_timeout() instead of the string name of the write type. This caused write timeout errors to always be rethrown instead of retrying. (github #123)

• Avoid submitting tasks to the ThreadPoolExecutor after shutdown. With retries enabled, this could cause Cluster.shutdown() to hang under some circumstances.

• Fix unintended rebuild of token replica map when keyspaces are discovered (on startup), added, or updated and TokenAwarePolicy is not in use.

• Avoid rebuilding token metadata when cluster topology has not actually changed

• Avoid preparing queries for hosts that should be ignored (such as remote hosts when using the DCAwareRoundRobinPolicy) (PYTHON-75)

Other

• Add 1 second timeout to join() call on event loop thread during interpreter shutdown. This can help to prevent the process from hanging during shutdown.

2.0.0b1

May 6, 2014

Upgrading from 1.x

Cluster.shutdown() should always be called when you are done with a Cluster instance. If it is not called, there are no guarantees that the driver will not hang. However, if you do have a reproduceable case where Cluster.shutdown() is not called and the driver hangs, please report it so that we can attempt to fix it.

If you’re using the 2.0 driver against Cassandra 1.2, you will need to set your protocol version to 1. For example:

cluster = Cluster(…, protocol_version=1)

Features

• Support v2 of Cassandra’s native protocol, which includes the following new features: automatic query paging support, protocol-level batch statements, and lightweight transactions

• Support for Python 3.3 and 3.4

• Allow a default query timeout to be set per-Session

Bug Fixes

• Avoid errors during interpreter shutdown (the driver attempts to cleanup daemonized worker threads before interpreter shutdown)

Deprecations

The following functions have moved from cassandra.decoder to cassandra.query. The original functions have been left in place with a DeprecationWarning for now:

• cassandra.decoder.tuple_factory has moved to cassandra.query.tuple_factory

• cassandra.decoder.named_tuple_factory has moved to cassandra.query.named_tuple_factory

• cassandra.decoder.dict_factory has moved to cassandra.query.dict_factory

• cassandra.decoder.ordered_dict_factory has moved to cassandra.query.ordered_dict_factory

Exceptions that were in cassandra.decoder have been moved to cassandra.protocol. If you handle any of these exceptions, you must adjust the code accordingly.

• Correctly supply compaction and compression parameters in CREATE statements for tables when working with Cassandra 2.0+

• Lowercase boolean literals when generating schemas

• Ignore SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ and SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE socket errors. Previously, these resulted in the connection being defuncted, but they can safely be ignored by the driver.

• Don’t reconnect the control connection every time Cluster.connect() is called

• Avoid race condition that could leave ResponseFuture callbacks uncalled if the callback was added outside of the event loop thread (github issue #95)

• Properly escape keyspace name in Session.set_keyspace(). Previously, the keyspace name was quoted, but any quotes in the string were not escaped.

• Avoid adding hosts to the load balancing policy before their datacenter and rack information has been set, if possible.

• Avoid KeyError when updating metadata after droping a table (github issues #97, #98)

• Use tuples instead of sets for DCAwareLoadBalancingPolicy to ensure equal distribution of requests

Other

• Don’t ignore column names when parsing typestrings. This is needed for user-defined type support. (github issue #90)

• Better error message when libevwrapper is not found

• Only try to import scales when metrics are enabled (github issue #92)

• Cut down on the number of queries executing when a new Cluster connects and when the control connection has to reconnect (github issue #104, PYTHON-59)

• Issue warning log when schema versions do not match

1.0.2

March 4, 2014

Bug Fixes

• With asyncorereactor, correctly handle EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK when the message from Cassandra is a multiple of the read buffer size. Previously, if no more data became available to read on the socket, the message would never be processed, resulting in an OperationTimedOut error.

• Double quote keyspace, table and column names that require them (those using uppercase characters or keywords) when generating CREATE statements through KeyspaceMetadata and TableMetadata.

• Decode TimestampType as DateType. (Cassandra replaced DateType with TimestampType to fix sorting of pre-unix epoch dates in CASSANDRA-5723.)

• Handle latest table options when parsing the schema and generating CREATE statements.

• Avoid ‘Set changed size during iteration’ during query plan generation when hosts go up or down

Other

• Remove ignored tracing_enabled parameter for SimpleStatement. The correct way to trace a query is by setting the trace argument to True in Session.execute() and Session.execute_async().

• Raise TypeError instead of cassandra.query.InvalidParameterTypeError when a parameter for a prepared statement has the wrong type; remove cassandra.query.InvalidParameterTypeError.

• More consistent type checking for query parameters

• Add option to a return special object for empty string values for non-string columns

1.0.1

Feb 19, 2014

Bug Fixes

• Include table indexes in KeyspaceMetadata.export_as_string()

• Fix broken token awareness on ByteOrderedPartitioner

• Always close socket when defuncting error’ed connections to avoid a potential file descriptor leak

• Handle “custom” types (such as the replaced DateType) correctly

• With libevreactor, correctly handle EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK when the message from Cassandra is a multiple of the read buffer size. Previously, if no more data became available to read on the socket, the message would never be processed, resulting in an OperationTimedOut error.

• Don’t break tracing when a Session’s row_factory is not the default namedtuple_factory.

• Handle data that is already utf8-encoded for UTF8Type values

• Fix token-aware routing for tokens that fall before the first node token in the ring and tokens that exactly match a node’s token

• Tolerate null source_elapsed values for Trace events. These may not be set when events complete after the main operation has already completed.

Other

• Skip sending OPTIONS message on connection creation if compression is disabled or not available and a CQL version has not been explicitly set

• Add details about errors and the last queried host to OperationTimedOut

1.0.0 Final

Jan 29, 2014

Bug Fixes

• Prevent leak of Scheduler thread (even with proper shutdown)

• Correctly handle ignored hosts, which are common with the DCAwareRoundRobinPolicy

• Hold strong reference to prepared statement while executing it to avoid garbage collection

• Add NullHandler logging handler to the cassandra package to avoid warnings about there being no configured logger

• Fix bad handling of nodes that have been removed from the cluster

• Properly escape string types within cql collections

• Handle setting the same keyspace twice in a row

• Avoid race condition during schema agreement checks that could result in schema update queries returning before all nodes had seen the change

• Preserve millisecond-level precision in datetimes when performing inserts with simple (non-prepared) statements

• Properly defunct connections when libev reports an error by setting errno instead of simply logging the error

• Fix endless hanging of some requests when using the libev reactor

• Always start a reconnection process when we fail to connect to a newly bootstrapped node

• Generators map to CQL lists, not key sequences

• Always defunct connections when an internal operation fails

• Correctly break from handle_write() if nothing was sent (asyncore reactor only)

• Avoid potential double-erroring of callbacks when a connection becomes defunct

Features

• Add default query timeout to Session

• Add timeout parameter to Session.execute()

• Add WhiteListRoundRobinPolicy as a load balancing policy option

• Support for consistency level LOCAL_ONE

• Make the backoff for fetching traces exponentially increasing and configurable

Other

• Raise Exception if TokenAwarePolicy is used against a cluster using the Murmur3Partitioner if the murmur3 C extension has not been compiled

• Add encoder mapping for OrderedDict

• Use timeouts on all control connection queries

• Benchmark improvements, including command line options and eay multithreading support

• Reduced lock contention when using the asyncore reactor

• Warn when non-datetimes are used for ‘timestamp’ column values in prepared statements

• Add requirements.txt and test-requirements.txt

• TravisCI integration for running unit tests against Python 2.6, Python 2.7, and PyPy

1.0.0b7

Nov 12, 2013

This release makes many stability improvements, especially around prepared statements and node failure handling. In particular, several cases where a request would never be completed (and as a result, leave the application hanging) have been resolved.

Features

• Add timeout kwarg to ResponseFuture.result()

• Create connection pools to all hosts in parallel when initializing new Sesssions.

Bug Fixes

• Properly set exception on ResponseFuture when a query fails against all hosts

• Improved cleanup and reconnection efforts when reconnection fails on a node that has recently come up

• Use correct consistency level when retrying failed operations against a different host. (An invalid consistency level was being used, causing the retry to fail.)

• Better error messages for failed Session.prepare() opertaions

• Prepare new statements against all hosts in parallel (formerly sequential)

• Fix failure to save the new current keyspace on connections. (This could cause problems for prepared statements and lead to extra operations to continuously re-set the keyspace.)

• Avoid sharing LoadBalancingPolicies across Cluster instances. (When a second Cluster was connected, it effectively mark nodes down for the first Cluster.)

• Better handling of failures during the re-preparation sequence for unrecognized prepared statements

• Throttle trashing of underutilized connections to avoid trashing newly created connections

• Fix race condition which could result in trashed connections being closed before the last operations had completed

• Avoid preparing statements on the event loop thread (which could lead to deadlock)

• Correctly mark up non-contact point nodes discovered by the control connection. (This lead to prepared statements not being prepared against those hosts, generating extra traffic later when the statements were executed and unrecognized.)

• Correctly handle large messages through libev

• Add timeout to schema agreement check queries

• More complete (and less contended) locking around manipulation of the pending message deque for libev connections

Other

• Prepare statements in batches of 10. (When many prepared statements are in use, this allows the driver to start utilizing nodes that were restarted more quickly.)

• Better debug logging around connection management

• Don’t retain unreferenced prepared statements in the local cache. (If many different prepared statements were created, this would increase memory usage and greatly increase the amount of time required to begin utilizing a node that was added or marked up.)

1.0.0b6

Oct 22, 2013

Bug Fixes

• Use lazy string formatting when logging

• Avoid several deadlock scenarios, especially when nodes go down

• Avoid trashing newly created connections due to insufficient traffic

• Gracefully handle un-handled Exceptions when erroring callbacks

Other

• Node state listeners (which are called when a node is added, removed, goes down, or comes up) should now be registered through Cluster.register_listener() instead of through a host’s HealthMonitor (which has been removed)

1.0.0b5

Oct 10, 2013

Features

• SSL support

Bug Fixes

• Avoid KeyError when building replica map for NetworkTopologyStrategy

• Work around python bug which causes deadlock when a thread imports the utf8 module

Other

• Switch packaging from Distribute to setuptools, improved C extension support

• Use PEP 386 compliant beta and post-release versions

1.0.0-beta4

Sep 24, 2013

Features

• Handle new blob syntax in Cassandra 2.0 by accepting bytearray objects for blob values

1.0.0-beta3

Sep 20, 2013

Features

• Support for LZ4 compression (Cassandra 2.0+)

• Fix varint packing of the value 0

• Correctly pack unicode values

• Don’t attempt to return failed connections to the pool when a final result is set

• Fix bad iteration of connection credentials

• Use blist’s orderedset for set collections and OrderedDict for map collections so that Cassandra’s ordering is preserved

• Fix connection failure on Windows due to unavailability of inet_pton and inet_ntop. (Note that IPv6 inet_address values are still not supported on Windows.)

• Boolean constants shouldn’t be surrounded by single quotes

• Avoid a potential loss of precision on float constants due to string formatting

• Actually utilize non-standard ports set on Cluster objects

• Fix export of schema as a set of CQL queries

Other

• Use cStringIO for connection buffer for better performance
