Mirantis Container Cloud (MCC) becomes part of Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes (MOSK)!

Now, the MOSK documentation set covers all product layers, including MOSK management (formerly Container Cloud). This means everything you need is in one place. Some legacy names may remain in the code and documentation and will be updated in future releases. The separate Container Cloud documentation site will be retired, so please update your bookmarks for continued easy access to the latest content.

Configuring the protocol for connecting to Cassandra clusters

To streamline and improve the efficiency of communication between clients and the database, Cassandra uses the Query Language (CQL) protocol by default.

CQL provides a more user-friendly and SQL-like interface for interacting with the database. With the move towards CQL, the Thrift-based client drivers are no longer actively supported encouraging the users to migrate to CQL-based client drivers to take advantage of new features and improvements in Cassandra.

While it is possible to switch to Thrift, Mirantis does not recommend it. If you choose to do so, specify thrift instead of cql in the configuration example below.

Define the cassandraDriver parameter in the devOptions section of the TFOperator custom resource:

spec:
  devOptions:
    cassandraDriver: thrift
