| = Cassandra Mailbox implementation |
| |
| This Mailbox sub-project is about providing a scalable mailbox implementation relying on Cassandra database. |
| |
| Concurrency is handled by this implementation while performing writes using Lightweight transactions. You do not need to lock anything, or provide utils to lock anything, when using this implementation. |
| |
| == Configuration |
| |
| The configuration is achieved through Spring. The file is 'src/main/resources/META-INF/spring/mailbox-cassandra.xml' . |
| |
| The components are instantiated and wired together. |
| |
| What might interest you the most is the way you want to connect your Cassandra cluster. |
| |
| Factories are used. You have : |
| * ClusterFactory : you specify which Cassandra servers you want to connect, with ( optional ) which user name and password to use. |
| * ClusterWithKeyspaceCreatedFactory : This ( optional ) component creates a Keyspace if it does not already exists. You may want to skip this step in production environment. |
| * SessionFactory : Connect the appropriated Keyspace, to create a Session our application can work with. |
