Simple Cassandra application in Python

A simple "quick start" application showing how to connect to a Cassandra cluster in Python, create a keyspace and column family, insert and select data.

These instructions assume you are hosted with Instaclustr, however this application will work with any Cassandra cluster if you provide your own node IPs and authentication.

For instaclustr users, please read the getting started guide on the Instaclustr support portal.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/instaclustr/cassandra-quickstart.git

Setup and Configuration

Before you begin, check your Cluster Details page to ensure your cluster has finished provisioning. All nodes and overall cluster status should be in RUNNING state.
