Hi Sasha, This is what I am trying . I can sense this is happening with JDBCDriver stuff.
public static void main(String[] args) { try { java.sql.Connection con = null; Class.forName("org.apache.cassandra.cql.jdbc.CassandraDriver"); con = DriverManager .getConnection("jdbc:cassandra:root/root@localhost:9160/Key1"); // con. System.out.println(con !=null); } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (SQLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } Getting following error: org.apache.cassandra.config.ConfigurationException: Cannot locate cassandra.yaml at org.apache.cassandra.config.DatabaseDescriptor.getStorageConfigURL(DatabaseDescriptor.java:111) at org.apache.cassandra.config.DatabaseDescriptor.<clinit>(DatabaseDescriptor.java:121) at org.apache.cassandra.config.CFMetaData.fromThrift(CFMetaData.java:642) at org.apache.cassandra.cql.jdbc.ColumnDecoder.<init>(ColumnDecoder.java:61) at org.apache.cassandra.cql.jdbc.Connection.execute(Connection.java:142) at org.apache.cassandra.cql.jdbc.Connection.execute(Connection.java:124) at org.apache.cassandra.cql.jdbc.CassandraConnection.<init>(CassandraConnection.java:83) at org.apache.cassandra.cql.jdbc.CassandraDriver.connect(CassandraDriver.java:86) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source) at java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(Unknown Source) Ideally it should get it . Not sure what is the issue. -Vivek -----Original Message----- From: Sasha Dolgy [mailto:sdo...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, June 17, 2011 1:31 PM To: user@cassandra.apache.org Subject: Re: Cassandra.yaml Hi Vivek, When I write client code in Java, using Hector, I don't specify a cassandra.yaml ... I specify the host(s) and keyspace I want to connect to. Alternately, I specify the host(s) and create the keyspace if the one I would like to use doesn't exist (new cluster for example). At no point do I use yaml file with my client code.... The conf/cassandra.yaml is there to tell the cassandra server how to behave / operate when it starts ... -sd On Fri, Jun 17, 2011 at 9:55 AM, Vivek Mishra <vivek.mis...@impetus.co.in> wrote: > > I have a query: > > I have my Cassandra server running on my local machine and it has > loaded Cassandra specific settings from > > apache-cassandra-0.8.0-src/apache-cassandra-0.8.0-src/conf/cassandra.y > aml > > Now If I am writing a java program to connect to this server why do I > need to provide a new Cassandra.yaml file again?
