Datastax Enterprise Chef Cookbook (Apache Cassandra)
This cookbook installs and configures Datastax Enterprise. More info is here (DataStax Enterprise).
It uses officially released Datastax packages. It can tweak the Cassandra config files, but has no way of adding data or creating keyspaces in Cassandra (yet).
Usage
This cookbook is designed to be used in conjuction with a wrapper cookbook. Used alone, a single node cluster can be created, but in order to create a multiple node cluster a wrapper is recommended.
Example in a wrapper:
node.default['java']['jdk_version'] = "7" node.default['cassandra']['seeds'] = "192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2" node.default['cassandra']['dse_version'] = "4.0.3-1" node.default['cassandra']['max_heap_size'] = "12G" node.default['cassandra']['heap_newsize'] = "1200M" include_recipe "dse::cassandra"
Scope
This cookbook attempts to manage almost all Apache Cassandra configuration settings. It can also create Hadoop and Solr nodes, with less attribute to manage their config.
Apache Cassandra
This cookbook currently provides
- Datastax 4.x.x (Datastax Enterprise Edition) via packages.
Requirements
- Chef 11 or higher
Supported OS Distributions
Tested on:
- RHEL 6.3, 6.4
- Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
- Slight testing done on Ubuntu 12.04 (will require some edits)
Recipes
The provided recipes are dse::cassandra
, dse::solr
, and dse::hadoop
* dse::cassandra
will provision DSE as a cassandra node.
* dse::solr
will provision DSE with solr enabled.
* dse::hadoop
will provision DSE with hadoop enabled.
There are also recipes that should not be called directly that are used for configuration.
* dse::default
sets up the templates
* dse::datastax
sets up the datastax repos
* dse::datstax-agent
configures the datastax-agent if needed
* dse::ssl
(work in progress) sets up SSL keys on all nodes

These attributes are used to conigure the datastax-agent. This is used with Datastax Opscenter.

Dependencies
- java
- yum
- apt
Datastax recommends to use the Oracle jdk version. You can do this by setting an attribute in your environment or run list.
Currently, Oracle prevents you from downloading the package from their website, put it in Artifactory or something as a workaround.
You can override the java url with an attribute, show below.
