Cassandra Agent for Gluesync: Features Overview

Index

This agent establishes a connection to Cassandra via the official DataStax Java driver.

With this agent, you can target any Cassandra deployment from version 2.1 and above.

Feature	Support	Notes
Target role	✅	Writes to Cassandra clusters via the official DataStax Java driver with TLS and multi-datacenter routing.
Source role	❌	Cassandra is supported as a target only in the current release.
Snapshots	✅	Incoming snapshot batches are persisted to Cassandra keyspaces for initial loads.
CDC	✅	Change events (I/U/D) streamed from sources are applied to Cassandra in real time.
CDC type	N/A	Agent consumes CDC from upstream connectors; Cassandra itself doesn’t expose CDC for Gluesync.
Bulk load	N/A	Relies on native write buffers; no staging-table Bulk load workflow is required.
Source persisted internal cache	N/A	No disk cache—state management lives in Core Hub and upstream agents.
Target persisted internal cache	N/A	Writes flow directly through the DataStax driver to the cluster.
Driver / connector	DataStax Java driver	Gluesync embeds the vendor driver to connect to Cassandra 2.1+.
Chains	N/A	Target-only connector.
Truncate operation support (reading)	N/A	Target-only agent; does not read from Cassandra.
Truncate operation support (writing)	N/A	Gluesync does not issue TRUNCATE commands on Cassandra targets; users must manage purges manually.
