Hi folks,

    I've been working on Cassandra SCL (called sclo-cassandra3, Cassandra version 3.11.0) recently, continuing the work started by Tomas Repik, and now I inform you that it is available for testing in CentOS (centos-sclo-sclo-testing repository).

    Cassandra is a partitioned row store. Rows are organized into tables with a required primary key. Partitioning means that Cassandra can distribute your data across multiple machines in an application-transparent matter. Cassandra will automatically re-partition as machines are added/removed from the cluster. Row store means that like relational databases, Cassandra organizes data by rows and columns. The Cassandra Query Language (CQL) is a close relative of SQL.

    To install:

    sudo yum install centos-release-scl

    sudo yum --enablerepo=centos-sclo-sclo-testing install sclo-cassandra3 sclo-cassandra3-cassandra

    To start the service:

    sudo systemctl start sclo-cassandra3-cassandra

    To run the cqlsh client tool:

    scl enable sclo-cassandra3 rh-java-common rh-maven33 cqlsh

    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Links to sclo-cassandra3 buildlogs [1], git repository of the SCLized package [2], metapackage [3] and softwarecollections.org page [4] can be found down bellow.
