Finally I got it working... Below are the code snippet which will be useful for trigger users,
public Collection<RowMutation> augment(ByteBuffer key, ColumnFamily cf) { try { ByteBuffer id_bb = CompositeType.extractComponent(key, 0); UUID id=TimeUUIDType.instance.compose(id_bb); ByteBuffer data_key_bb = CompositeType.extractComponent(key, 1); String data_key=UTF8Type.instance.compose(data_key_bb); Iterator col_itr=cf.iterator(); Column ts_col=(Column)col_itr.next(); ByteBuffer time_bb=CompositeType.extractComponent(ts_col.name(),0); long time=(TimestampType.instance.compose(time_bb)).getTime(); Column data_bb=(Column)col_itr.next(); String data=UTF8Type.instance.compose(data_bb.value()); log(" id --> "+id.toString()); log(" data_key-->"+data_key); log(" time == "+time); log(" data == "+data); } catch (Exception e) { logger.warn("Exception ", e); } return null; } PS: Since I know my table format, I hardcoded the column comparator type. If we want to write generic trigger code, we can use cf.getComponentComparator()/getKeyValidator(). - Ramesh On Wed, Nov 27, 2013 at 5:10 PM, J Ramesh Kumar <rameshj1...@gmail.com>wrote: > Hi, > > I need your help on extract column names and values in the trigger augment > method. > > *Table Def :* > > create table dy_data ( > id timeuuid, > data_key text, > time timestamp, > data text, > primary key((id,data_key),time)) with clustering order by (time desc); > > public class ArchiveTrigger implements ITrigger { > public Collection<RowMutation> augment(ByteBuffer key, ColumnFamily cf) { > try { > *// Below loop only has 2 columns ( one is "data" and another > one may be "time" but i am not sure, because i cannot get value. * > > for (Column cell : cf) { > * //Got Exception if I try to get column name* > String name = ByteBufferUtil.string(cell.name()); > * //Got only "data" column value and empty value for > another column may be "time"*. *If I try > ByteBufferUtil.toLong(cell.value()) it throws exception* > String value = ByteBufferUtil.string(cell.value()); > log(" name = " + name); > log(" value = " + value); > } > } catch (Exception e) { > logger.warn("Exception ", e); > } > return null; > } > } > > > I tried my best to search sample code in google.
