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
