If you’re curious about Cassandra DB,
but don’t quite know how to run it with unit-tests, here’s a little tip
for you. Below is a simplistic Scala code-snippet that will start
Cassandra as an embedded service (unless it is already running) and pick
up the Cassandra configs from your src/test/resources directory (you’ll
want your storage-conf.xml and log4j.properties there):
Now you can just start Cassandra by calling EmbeddedCassandraService.start, and a new server process will start unless one is already running.
I found the starts of this snippet on the web, I can’t remember where, but I believe it was in the Akka source code, and I just took it and adapted it a little to work better in my workspace..
Below is the CassandraClient convenience class that I have created and that is used in the sample:
unit test
