phpcassa - storing only one charecter values

i am trying to use cassandra via phpcassa and below is the code:

 $pool = new ConnectionPool($KS, array('127.0.0.1:9160'));
    $users=new ColumnFamily($pool,$CF);
    $users->insert_format = ColumnFamily::ARRAY_FORMAT;
    $users->return_format = ColumnFamily::ARRAY_FORMAT;
    $email='[email protected]';
    $input=array('col1' => 'val1',
                     'col2' => 'val2',
                     'col3' => 'val3','col4'=>'ladhania');
    $users->insert($email,$input);
    $row=$users->get($email);
    var_dump($row);
    echo $users->get_count('$email');

but the output is :

array(2) { [0]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(1) "l" [1]=> string(1) "a" } [1]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(1) "v" [1]=> string(1) "a" } }
0

i would like to know

  1. why isnt it storing all the 4 columns
  2. why the stored columns have value of only one character
  3. Is there a php client to search cassandra using solr

thanks in advance

Solution

  • Since you're specifying ARRAY_FORMAT as the input format, it's expecting the columns to be like this:

    $input = array(array('col1', 'val1'),
               array('col2', 'val2'),
               array('col3', 'val3'),
               array('col4', 'ladhania'));

    The alternate formats example may also be useful.

    Is there a php client to search cassandra using solr?

    DataStax Enterprise has integrated Solr support, which you can query through either the Solr API, CQL (in recent versions), or the Thrift API (e.g. phpcassa).
