15.2. Dependencies

  • camel:jackson
  • camel:kamelet
  • camel:cassandraql

15.3. Usage

This section describes how you can use the cassandra-sink.

15.3.1. Knative Sink

You can use the cassandra-sink Kamelet as a Knative sink by binding it to a Knative object.

cassandra-sink-binding.yaml

apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: KameletBinding
metadata:
  name: cassandra-sink-binding
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: Channel
      apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1
      name: mychannel
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: cassandra-sink
    properties:
      connectionHost: "localhost"
      connectionPort: 9042
      keyspace: "customers"
      password: "The Password"
      query: "The Query"
      username: "The Username"

15.3.1.1. Prerequisite

Make sure you have "Red Hat Integration - Camel K" installed into the OpenShift cluster you’re connected to.

15.3.1.2. Procedure for using the cluster CLI

  1. Save the cassandra-sink-binding.yaml file to your local drive, and then edit it as needed for your configuration.

  2. Run the sink by using the following command: 

    oc apply -f cassandra-sink-binding.yaml

15.3.1.3. Procedure for using the Kamel CLI

Configure and run the sink by using the following command: 

kamel bind channel:mychannel cassandra-sink -p "sink.connectionHost=localhost" -p sink.connectionPort=9042 -p "sink.keyspace=customers" -p "sink.password=The Password" -p "sink.query=Query" -p "sink.username=The Username"

This command creates the KameletBinding in the current namespace on the cluster.

15.3.2. Kafka Sink

You can use the cassandra-sink Kamelet as a Kafka sink by binding it to a Kafka topic.

cassandra-sink-binding.yaml

apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: KameletBinding
metadata:
  name: cassandra-sink-binding
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: KafkaTopic
      apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
      name: my-topic
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: cassandra-sink
    properties:
      connectionHost: "localhost"
      connectionPort: 9042
      keyspace: "customers"
      password: "The Password"
      query: "The Query"
      username: "The Username"

15.3.2.1. Prerequisites

Ensure that you’ve installed the AMQ Streams operator in your OpenShift cluster and created a topic named my-topic in the current namespace. Make also sure you have "Red Hat Integration - Camel K" installed into the OpenShift cluster you’re connected to.

15.3.2.2. Procedure for using the cluster CLI

  1. Save the cassandra-sink-binding.yaml file to your local drive, and then edit it as needed for your configuration.

  2. Run the sink by using the following command: 

    oc apply -f cassandra-sink-binding.yaml

15.3.2.3. Procedure for using the Kamel CLI

Configure and run the sink by using the following command: 

kamel bind kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1:KafkaTopic:my-topic cassandra-sink -p "sink.connectionHost=localhost" -p sink.connectionPort=9042 -p "sink.keyspace=customers" -p "sink.password=The Password" -p "sink.query=The Query" -p "sink.username=The Username"

This command creates the KameletBinding in the current namespace on the cluster.
