  • camel:kamelet
  • camel:cassandraql

20.3. Usage
Copy link

This section describes how you can use the cassandra-source.

20.3.1. Knative Source
Copy link

You can use the cassandra-source Kamelet as a Knative source by binding it to a Knative object.

cassandra-source-binding.yaml

apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: KameletBinding
metadata:
  name: cassandra-source-binding
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: cassandra-source
    properties:
      connectionHost: "localhost"
      connectionPort: 9042
      keyspace: "customers"
      password: "The Password"
      query: "The Query"
      username: "The Username"
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: Channel
      apiVersion: messaging.knative.dev/v1
      name: mychannel
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

20.3.1.1. Prerequisite
Copy link

Make sure you have "Red Hat Integration - Camel K" installed into the OpenShift cluster you’re connected to.

20.3.1.2. Procedure for using the cluster CLI
Copy link

  1. Save the cassandra-source-binding.yaml file to your local drive, and then edit it as needed for your configuration.

  2. Run the source by using the following command: 

    oc apply -f cassandra-source-binding.yaml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

20.3.1.3. Procedure for using the Kamel CLI
Copy link

Configure and run the source by using the following command: 

kamel bind cassandra-source -p "source.connectionHost=localhost" -p source.connectionPort=9042 -p "source.keyspace=customers" -p "source.password=The Password" -p "source.query=The Query" -p "source.username=The Username" channel:mychannel
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

This command creates the KameletBinding in the current namespace on the cluster.

20.3.2. Kafka Source
Copy link

You can use the cassandra-source Kamelet as a Kafka source by binding it to a Kafka topic.

cassandra-source-binding.yaml

apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: KameletBinding
metadata:
  name: cassandra-source-binding
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: cassandra-source
    properties:
      connectionHost: "localhost"
      connectionPort: 9042
      keyspace: "customers"
      password: "The Password"
      query: "The Query"
      username: "The Username"
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: KafkaTopic
      apiVersion: kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1
      name: my-topic
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

20.3.2.1. Prerequisites
Copy link

Ensure that you’ve installed the AMQ Streams operator in your OpenShift cluster and created a topic named my-topic in the current namespace. Make also sure you have "Red Hat Integration - Camel K" installed into the OpenShift cluster you’re connected to.

20.3.2.2. Procedure for using the cluster CLI
Copy link

  1. Save the cassandra-source-binding.yaml file to your local drive, and then edit it as needed for your configuration.

  2. Run the source by using the following command: 

    oc apply -f cassandra-source-binding.yaml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

20.3.2.3. Procedure for using the Kamel CLI
Copy link

Configure and run the source by using the following command: 

kamel bind cassandra-source -p "source.connectionHost=localhost" -p source.connectionPort=9042 -p "source.keyspace=customers" -p "source.password=The Password" -p "source.query=The Query" -p "source.username=The Username" kafka.strimzi.io/v1beta1:KafkaTopic:my-topic
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

This command creates the KameletBinding in the current namespace on the cluster.
