Insert List In cassandra using astyanax

Question

I am facing a problem in Cassandra to insert list

create table employees(
id int PRIMARY KEY,
name varchar,
emails list <varchar>
);

CQL query

insert into employees (id, name, emails) values (1,'fake_name',['fake1@fake1.com', 'fake2@fake2.com']);

result of select * from employees

 id | emails                                | name
----+----------------------------------------+--------
 1 | ['fake1@fake1.com', 'fake2@fake2.com'] | shahid

How we can insert list using Astyanax ?

Answer 1

Astayanax is still based on the old Thrift API, so it is missing the underlying abstractions to support CQL collections like Lists. You should use the CQL Java Driver instead: https://github.com/datastax/java-driver
