Deployment

The service itself is distributed as Docker container. Check the cassandra-reader service section in docker-compose to see how service is deployed.

To start the service, execute the following shell script:

# download the latest version of the service
git clone https://github.com/mainflux/mainflux

cd mainflux

# compile the cassandra
make cassandra-reader

# copy binary to bin
make install

# Set the environment variables and run the service

Using docker-compose

This service can be deployed using docker containers. Docker compose file is available in <project_root>/docker/addons/cassandra-reader/docker-compose.yml. In order to run all Mainflux core services, as well as mentioned optional ones, execute following command:

docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d
./docker/addons/cassandra-writer/init.sh
docker-compose -f docker/addons/casandra-reader/docker-compose.yml up -d

Usage

Service exposes HTTP API for fetching messages.

Note: Cassandra Reader doesn't support searching substrings from string_value, due to inefficient searching as the current data model is not suitable for this type of queries.
