Use brew to install CLI: brew install cadence-workflow which includes cadence-cassandra-tool
- The schema files are located at /usr/local/etc/cadence/schema/.
- Follow the instructions if you need to install older versions of schema tools via homebrew. However, easier way is to use new versions of schema tools with old versions of schemas. All you need is to check out the older version of schemas from this repo. Run git checkout v0.21.3 to get the v0.21.3 schemas in the schema folder.
Or build yourself, with make cadence-cassandra-tool. See CONTRIBUTING for prerequisite of make command.

Note: The binaries can also be found in the ubercadence/server docker images

Do one time database creation and schema setup for a new cluster

This uses Cassandra's SimpleStratagey for replication. For production, we recommend using a replication factor of 3 with NetworkTopologyStrategy.

cadence-cassandra-tool --ep $CASSANDRA_SEEDS create -k $KEYSPACE --rf $RF

See https://www.ecyrd.com/cassandracalculator for an easy way to determine how many nodes and what replication factor you will want to use. Note that Cadence by default uses Quorum for read and write consistency.

./cadence-cassandra-tool -ep 127.0.0.1 -k cadence setup-schema -v 0.0 # this sets up just the schema version tables with initial version of 0.0
./cadence-cassandra-tool -ep 127.0.0.1 -k cadence update-schema -d ./schema/cassandra/cadence/versioned # upgrades your schema to the latest version

./cadence-cassandra-tool -ep 127.0.0.1 -k cadence_visibility setup-schema -v 0.0 # this sets up just the schema version tables with initial version of 0.0 for visibility
./cadence-cassandra-tool -ep 127.0.0.1 -k cadence_visibility update-schema -d ./schema/cassandra/visibility/versioned # upgrades your schema to the latest version for visibility

Update schema as part of a release

You can only upgrade to a new version after the initial setup done above.

./cadence-cassandra-tool -ep 127.0.0.1 -k cadence update-schema -d ./schema/cassandra/cadence/versioned -v x.xx -dryrun # executes a dryrun of upgrade to version x.xx
./cadence-cassandra-tool -ep 127.0.0.1 -k cadence update-schema -d ./schema/cassandra/cadence/versioned -v x.xx # actually executes the upgrade to version x.xx

./cadence-cassandra-tool -ep 127.0.0.1 -k cadence_visibility update-schema -d ./schema/cassandra/visibility/versioned -v x.xx --dryrun # executes a dryrun of upgrade to version x.xx
./cadence-cassandra-tool -ep 127.0.0.1 -k cadence_visibility update-schema -d ./schema/cassandra/visibility/versioned -v x.xx  # actually executes the upgrade to version x.xx
