核心功能详解

高可用集群连接

from cassandra.cluster import Cluster
from cassandra.auth import PlainTextAuthProvider

# 基础连接（本地集群）
cluster = Cluster(['192.168.1.100', '192.168.1.101'])
session = cluster.connect('my_keyspace')

# 带认证的生产环境配置
auth_provider = PlainTextAuthProvider(username='cassandra', password='cassandra')
cluster = Cluster(
    contact_points=['node1.datacenter1', 'node2.datacenter1'],
    port=9042,
    auth_provider=auth_provider,
    protocol_version=5,  # 启用最新协议特性
    compression=True      # 自动协商压缩算法
)
session = cluster.connect()

Astra云数据库配置

cloud_config = {
    'secure_connect_bundle': '/path/to/secure-connect-dbname.zip'
}
auth_provider = PlainTextAuthProvider('clientId', 'clientSecret')
cluster = Cluster(cloud=cloud_config, auth_provider=auth_provider)
session = cluster.connect()

执行配置文件（Execution Profiles）

from cassandra.cluster import ExecutionProfile, EXEC_PROFILE_DEFAULT
from cassandra.policies import DCAwareRoundRobinPolicy, RetryPolicy

# 读优化配置
read_profile = ExecutionProfile(
    load_balancing_policy=DCAwareRoundRobinPolicy(local_dc='dc-west'),
    retry_policy=RetryPolicy(),
    consistency_level=1,  # LOCAL_ONE
    request_timeout=5.0
)

# 写优化配置
write_profile = ExecutionProfile(
    consistency_level=4,  # QUORUM
    request_timeout=10.0
)

cluster = Cluster(execution_profiles={
    EXEC_PROFILE_DEFAULT: read_profile,
    'write_ops': write_profile
})
session = cluster.connect()

# 使用指定配置执行
session.execute("INSERT INTO users (id, name) VALUES (?, ?)", 
                (uuid.uuid4(), "Alice"), 
                execution_profile='write_ops')

高性能查询模式

1. 同步查询（简单场景）

rows = session.execute("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = %s", [user_id])
for row in rows:
    print(f"User: {row.name}, Age: {row.age}")

2. 异步查询（高并发场景）

from cassandra.concurrent import execute_concurrent_with_args

# 批量异步查询
query = session.prepare("SELECT * FROM products WHERE category = ?")
args_list = [("electronics",), ("clothing",), ("books",)]

# 最大并发数=8
results = execute_concurrent_with_args(
    session, query, args_list, concurrency=8
)

for success, result in results:
    if success:
        process_products(result)
    else:
        log.error(f"Query failed: {result}")

3. 预编译语句（重复查询优化）

# 准备语句（仅一次网络往返）
insert_stmt = session.prepare("""
    INSERT INTO sensor_data (device_id, timestamp, value)
    VALUES (?, ?, ?) USING TTL 86400
""")

# 绑定参数并执行（零解析开销）
for data_point in sensor_stream:
    session.execute(insert_stmt, (
        data_point.device_id,
        data_point.timestamp,
        data_point.value
    ))

对象映射（CQL Engine）

from cassandra.cqlengine import columns, models
from cassandra.cqlengine.management import sync_table

class Product(models.Model):
    __keyspace__ = 'ecommerce'
    id = columns.UUID(primary_key=True)
    name = columns.Text(index=True)  # 二级索引
    price = columns.Decimal(required=True)
    categories = columns.List(columns.Text())
    created_at = columns.DateTime()

# 同步模型到数据库
sync_table(Product)

# 数据操作
product = Product.create(
    id=uuid.uuid4(),
    name="Wireless Headphones",
    price=99.99,
    categories=["electronics", "audio"]
)

# 查询操作
expensive_products = Product.objects.filter(price__gt=50).allow_filtering()

性能优化实战

监控与调优参数

# 启用性能指标
cluster = Cluster(metrics_enabled=True)
session = cluster.connect()

# 查看关键指标
print("活跃连接数:", cluster.metrics.get_metric("connection.active_count"))
print("查询延迟p99:", cluster.metrics.get_metric("latency.query.p99"))

七种性能优化技巧

使用连接池

cluster = Cluster(
    core_connections_per_host={0: 4, 1: 2},  # 本地DC:4连接/节点，远程DC:2连接/节点
    max_connections_per_host={0: 10, 1: 5}
)

启用 speculative execution

from cassandra.policies import ConstantSpeculativeExecutionPolicy

profile = ExecutionProfile(
    speculative_execution_policy=ConstantSpeculativeExecutionPolicy(
        delay=0.5,  # 0.5秒后启动备用查询
        max_attempts=2
    )
)

批量写入优化

from cassandra.query import BatchStatement

batch = BatchStatement(batch_type=BatchStatement.UNLOGGED)
for item in items_to_insert:
    batch.add(insert_stmt, (item.id, item.value))
session.execute(batch)

结果分页

statement = SimpleStatement("SELECT * FROM large_table", fetch_size=1000)
while True:
    rows = session.execute(statement)
    for row in rows:
        process_row(row)
    if not rows.has_more_pages:
        break
    statement = rows.next_page_statement()

使用PyPy运行时

pypy3 -m pip install cassandra-driver
pypy3 your_application.py  # 通常比CPython快2-5倍

启用Cython扩展

# 确保已安装cython和编译器
pip install --no-cache-dir --no-binary :all: cassandra-driver

多进程部署

from multiprocessing import Pool

def process_batch(batch):
    # 每个进程创建独立连接
    cluster = Cluster()
    session = cluster.connect()
    # 处理逻辑...

if __name__ == '__main__':
    with Pool(processes=4) as pool:  # 4进程处理
        pool.map(process_batch, data_batches)

常见问题解决方案

连接超时问题

# 增加初始连接超时
cluster = Cluster(
    connect_timeout=15.0,  # 连接建立超时
    control_connection_timeout=20.0  # 控制连接超时
)

# 调整重连策略
from cassandra.policies import ExponentialReconnectionPolicy
cluster = Cluster(
    reconnection_policy=ExponentialReconnectionPolicy(
        base_delay=1.0,  # 初始延迟1秒
        max_delay=60.0   # 最大延迟60秒
    )
)

数据一致性问题

# 强一致性读取
statement = SimpleStatement(
    "SELECT balance FROM accounts WHERE user_id = %s",
    consistency_level=ConsistencyLevel.SERIAL  # 线性一致性
)
result = session.execute(statement, [user_id])

大结果集处理

statement = SimpleStatement("SELECT * FROM large_table", fetch_size=5000)
result_set = session.execute(statement)

for row in result_set:
    process_row(row)
    # 定期提交偏移量
    if result_set.current_rows == result_set.fetch_size:
        save_checkpoint(result_set.paging_state)

生产环境最佳实践

完整配置模板

from cassandra.cluster import Cluster, ExecutionProfile, EXEC_PROFILE_DEFAULT
from cassandra.auth import PlainTextAuthProvider
from cassandra.policies import (
    DCAwareRoundRobinPolicy,
    TokenAwarePolicy,
    RetryPolicy,
    ConstantSpeculativeExecutionPolicy
)
import logging

# 配置日志
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logging.getLogger('cassandra').setLevel(logging.WARNING)

# 认证配置
auth_provider = PlainTextAuthProvider(username='app_user', password='secure_password')

# 负载均衡策略（令牌感知+数据中心感知）
load_balancing_policy = TokenAwarePolicy(
    DCAwareRoundRobinPolicy(local_dc='primary-dc', used_hosts_per_remote_dc=0)
)

# 重试策略
retry_policy = RetryPolicy()

# 执行配置文件
default_profile = ExecutionProfile(
    load_balancing_policy=load_balancing_policy,
    retry_policy=retry_policy,
    consistency_level=1,  # LOCAL_ONE
    request_timeout=5.0,
    speculative_execution_policy=ConstantSpeculativeExecutionPolicy(
        delay=0.5, max_attempts=3
    )
)

# 集群配置
cluster = Cluster(
    contact_points=['node1.primary-dc', 'node2.primary-dc'],
    port=9042,
    auth_provider=auth_provider,
    protocol_version=5,
    compression=True,
    execution_profiles={EXEC_PROFILE_DEFAULT: default_profile},
    connect_timeout=10.0,
    control_connection_timeout=15.0,
    metrics_enabled=True,
    reconnection_policy=ExponentialReconnectionPolicy(1.0, 60.0)
)

# 建立连接
session = cluster.connect('production_keyspace')

# 设置默认一致性级别
session.default_consistency_level = 1

# 预热连接池
session.execute("SELECT now() FROM system.local")

监控与告警

# 定期检查连接健康状态
def monitor_connections():
    for host in cluster.metadata.all_hosts():
        if not host.is_up:
            logging.warning(f"Host {host.address} is down")
        else:
            pool = cluster.get_connection_pool(host)
            if pool and pool.num_available < 2:
                logging.warning(f"Low connections on {host.address}: {pool.num_available}")

# 集成Prometheus（需要安装prometheus-client）
from prometheus_client import Gauge

CONNECTION_GAUGE = Gauge('cassandra_connections', 'Active connections', ['host', 'status'])

def update_metrics():
    for host in cluster.metadata.all_hosts():
        pool = cluster.get_connection_pool(host)
        if pool:
            CONNECTION_GAUGE.labels(host=host.address, status='active').set(pool.num_active)
            CONNECTION_GAUGE.labels(host=host.address, status='available').set(pool.num_available)
