Hi, the Javadoc (or source code) of the me.prettyprint.hector.api.factory.HFactory class contains all the examples to create keyspaces and column families.
To create a keyspace: String testKeyspace = "testKeyspace"; KeyspaceDefinition newKeyspace = HFactory.createKeyspaceDefinition(testKeyspace); cluster.addKeyspace(newKeyspace); To create a column family and a keyspace: String keyspace = "testKeyspace"; String column1 = "testcolumn"; ColumnFamilyDefinition columnFamily1 = HFactory.createColumnFamilyDefinition(keyspace, column1); List<ColumnFamilyDefinition> columns = new ArrayList<ColumnFamilyDefinition>(); columns.add(columnFamily1); KeyspaceDefinition testKeyspace = HFactory.createKeyspaceDefinition(keyspace, org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleStrategy.class.getName(), 1, columns); cluster.addKeyspace(testKeyspace); -- Filippo Diotalevi On Wednesday, 6 June 2012 at 07:05, MOHD ARSHAD SALEEM wrote: > Hi All, > > I am using Hector client for cassandra .
