Column Manager

The Manager class for the column family type can be synchronous or asynchronous:

• ColumnFamilyManager: To do synchronous operations.

• ColumnFamilyManagerAsync: To do asynchronous operations.

ColumnFamilyManager

The ColumnFamilyManager is the class that manages the persistence on the synchronous way to column family.

       ColumnEntity entity = ColumnEntity.of("columnFamily");
        Column diana = Column.of("name", "Diana");
        entity.add(diana);

        List<ColumnEntity> entities = Collections.singletonList(entity);
        ColumnFamilyManager manager = //instance;


        //inserts operations
        manager.insert(entity);
        manager.insert(entity, Duration.ofHours(2L));//inserts with 2 hours of TTL
        manager.insert(entities, Duration.ofHours(2L));//inserts with 2 hours of TTL
        //updates operations
        manager.update(entity);
        manager.update(entities);

ColumnFamilyManagerAsync

The ColumnFamilyManagerAsync is the class that manages the persistence on the asynchronous way to column family.

        Column diana = Column.of("name", "Diana");
        entity.add(diana);

        List<ColumnEntity> entities = Collections.singletonList(entity);

        ColumnFamilyManagerAsync managerAsync = null;


        //inserts operations
        managerAsync.insert(entity);
        managerAsync.insert(entity, Duration.ofHours(2L));//inserts with 2 hours of TTL
        managerAsync.insert(entities, Duration.ofHours(2L));//inserts with 2 hours of TTL
        //updates operations
        managerAsync.update(entity);
        managerAsync.update(entities);

Sometimes on an asynchronous process, is important to know when this process is over, so the ColumnFamilyManagerAsync also has callback support.

        Consumer<ColumnEntity> callBack = e -> {};
        managerAsync.insert(entity, callBack);
        managerAsync.update(entity, callBack);

Search information on a column family

Diana has support to retrieve information from both ways synchronous and asynchronous from the ColumnQuery class. The ColumnQuery has information such as sort type, document and also the condition to retrieve information.

The condition on ColumnQuery is given from ColumnCondition, whose it has the status and the column. Eg. The condition behind is to find a name equal "Ada".

ColumnCondition nameEqualsAda = ColumnCondition.eq(Column.of("name", “Ada”));

Also, the developer can use the aggregators such as AND, OR e NOT.

ColumnCondition nameEqualsAda = ColumnCondition.eq(Column.of("name", "Ada"));
ColumnCondition youngerThan2Years = ColumnCondition.lt(Column.of("age", 2));
ColumnCondition condition = nameEqualsAda.and(youngerThan2Years);
ColumnCondition nameNotEqualsAda = nameEqualsAda.negate();

If there isn't condition at the query that means the query will try to retrieve all information from the database, look like a “select * from database” in a relational database, just to remember the return depends on from driver. It is important to say that not all NoSQL databases have support for this resource.

ColumnQuery also has pagination feature to define where the data start, and it limits.

        ColumnFamilyManager manager = //instance;

        ColumnFamilyManagerAsync managerAsync = //instance;

        ColumnQuery query = ColumnQuery query = ColumnQueryBuilder.select().from("collection").where("age")
                .lt(10).and("name").eq("Ada").orderBy(Sort.of("name", ASC)).limit(10).start(2).build();

        List<ColumnEntity> entities = manager.select(query);
        Optional<ColumnEntity> entity = manager.singleResult(query);

        Consumer<List<ColumnEntity>> callback = e -> {};
        managerAsync.select(query, callback);

Removing information from Column Family

Such as ColumnQuery there is a class to remove information from the column database type: A ColumnDeleteQuery type.

It is smoother than ColumnQuery because there isn't pagination and sort feature, once this information is unnecessary to remove information from database.

        ColumnFamilyManager manager = //instance;
        ColumnFamilyManagerAsync managerAsync = //instance;

       ColumnDeleteQuery query = ColumnQueryBuilder.delete()
                .from("collection").where("age").gt(10).build();


        manager.delete(query);

        managerAsync.delete(query);
        managerAsync.delete(query, v -> {});
