Question

I got a sample code from net for inserting:

1. In the line below, should "Cassandra1" be placed in web.config? If yes as what?

   ICluster cluster = AquilesHelper.RetrieveCluster("Cassandra1");
   

2. In the code below, what is CassandraClient? Is it a class? What should be inside the CassandraClient class?

   cluster.Execute(new ExecutionBlock(delegate(CassandraClient client)
   {
     client.insert(key, columnParent, column, ConsistencyLevel.ONE);
   }), keyspace);
   

Answer 1

The answer to your first question can be found here.

A quick read of the source code reveals this type alias in DefaultClient.cs:

using CassandraClient = Apache.Cassandra.Cassandra.Client;

So CassandraClient is an instance of Apache.Cassandra.Cassandra.Client, which is the client generated by the Thrift C# code generator.
