Class: DatastaxRails::WideStorageModel

Defined in:
lib/datastax_rails/wide_storage_model.rb

Overview

A special model that is designed to efficiently store very wide data. This model type assumes that you have a unique ID that you want to store a lot of data about. The data is stored as a single, very wide row; however you can safely treat it as if there were multiple rows. A common example of this is a logs table

You can also apply secondary indexes onto the other columns.

CAVEATS:

  • Once the cluster attribute is set, it cannot be changed as it becomes the column header in Cassandra

    class AuditLog < DatastaxRails::WideStorageModel

    self.column_family = 'audit_logs'
self.primary_key = :uuid
self.cluster_by = :created_at
# If you don't want the default ascending sort order
self.create_options = 'CLUSTERING ORDER BY (created_at DESC)'

string :uuid
string :message
string :user_id, :cql_index => true
timestamps

    end
