Upsert data into Cassandra database using Astyanax client

Question

Problem Statement:-

I am trying to insert data into Cassandra database. I am using Netflix/Astyanax client for this.

Below is the code which will upsert data into Cassandra database using Astyanax client .

In my below method, it accepts two parameter. One is the userId which I will be using as the RowKey and attributes map which will contain, column name as the key and it's column value as the value in the map.

Now how can I use Astyanax client to upsert data into Cassandra database using the below method which accepts those two parameters?

I am mainly concern about attributes Map. How should I use that map to upsert data into Cassandra database?

/**
 * Performs an upsert of the specified attributes for the specified id.
 */
public void upsertAttributes(final String userId, final Map<String, String> attributes) {

    MutationBatch m = CassandraAstyanaxConnection.getInstance().getKeyspace().prepareMutationBatch();

    m.withRow(CassandraAstyanaxConnection.getInstance().getEmp_cf(), userId)
    .putColumn(attributeName from attributesMap, attributeValue from attributesMap, null)
    ;

    try {
        m.execute();
    } catch (ConnectionException e) {
        StringBuilder message = new StringBuilder();
        message.append("Failed to read from C* = '").append(e).append("'. ");

        LOG.error("Failed to write data to C*", e);

        throw new RuntimeException("failed to write data to C*", e);
    }
}

You have almost given the solution, but i think its not clear to you

 MutationBatch m = CassandraAstyanaxConnection.getInstance().getKeyspace().prepareMutationBatch();
 ColumnListMutation<String> clm = m.withRow(CassandraAstyanaxConnection.getInstance().getEmp_cf(), userId);
 for(String key: attributeMap.keySet()){
     clm.putColumn(key, attributeMap.get(key), null);
 }

try {
    m.execute();
} catch (ConnectionException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Basically putColumn has different overloaded variations, so it will support all the datatypes supported by cassandra.
