I have what appears to be a strange bug in either the gocql
driver for Cassandra, or in the Cassandra database itself.
I am trying to do a simple write and then read all request in two separate functions. I would expect that I would get all entries on the read all request, but I am only getting the last entry in Cassandra.
Here is how I am doing the write:
util.CassSession, _ = util.CassCluster.CreateSession()
defer util.CassSession.Close()
keySpaceMeta, _ := util.CassSession.KeyspaceMetadata("platypus")
valC, exists := keySpaceMeta.Tables["cassmessage"]
if exists==true {
fmt.Println("cassmessage exists!!!")
}else{
fmt.Println("cassmessage doesnt exist!")
}
if valC!=nil{
fmt.Println("return from valC cassmessage: ", valC)
}
insertString:=`INSERT INTO cassmessage
(messagefrom, messageto, messagecontent)
VALUES('`+sendMsgReq.MessageFrom+`', '`
+sendMsgReq.MessageTo+`', '`+sendMsgReq.MessageContent+`')`
fmt.Println("insertString value: ", insertString)
err := util.CassSession.Query(insertString).Exec()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("there was an error in appending data to cassmessage: ", err)
} else {
fmt.Println("inserted data into cassmessage successfully")
}
the terminal output from the above:
app_1 | [17:59:43][WEBSERVER] : cassmessage exists!!!
app_1 | [17:59:43][WEBSERVER] : return from valC cassmessage:
&{platypus cassmessage [] []
[0xc000400140] [] map[messagefrom:0xc0004000a0
messageto:0xc000400140 messagecontent:0xc000400000]
[messagecontent messagefrom messageto]}
app_1 | [17:59:43][WEBSERVER] : inserted data into cassmessage successfully
I am not entirely sure what the output of valC
is returning, although it appears to be some sort of memory address which is a good sign. I also see that I am not getting any error on the write exec function which is hopeful.
Here is how I am doing the read:
util.CassSession, _ = util.CassCluster.CreateSession()
defer util.CassSession.Close()
keySpaceMeta, _ := util.CassSession.KeyspaceMetadata("platypus")
valC, exists := keySpaceMeta.Tables["cassmessage"]
queryString := `SELECT messageto, messagecontent, messagefrom FROM cassmessage WHERE messagefrom='`+mailReq.Email+`'`
//returns nothing, should return many rows
queryString2 := `SELECT messageto, messagecontent, messagefrom FROM cassmessage`
//returns only last entry, should return many rows
queryString3 := `SELECT * FROM cassmessage WHERE messagefrom='`+mailReq.Email+`'`
//returns nothing, should return many rows
queryAllString := `SELECT * FROM cassmessage`
//returns only last entry, should return many rows
var messageto string
var messagecontent string
var messagefrom string
iter := util.CassSession.Query(queryAllString).Iter()
for iter.Scan(&messageto, &messagecontent, &messagefrom) {
fmt.Println("Iter messageto: %v", messageto)
fmt.Println("Iter messagecontent: %v", messagecontent)
fmt.Println("Iter messagefrom: %v", messagefrom)
}
the terminal output from above:
app_1 | [18:09:54][WEBSERVER] : Iter messageto: %v xyz@xyz.com
app_1 | [18:09:54][WEBSERVER] : Iter messagecontent: %v a
app_1 | [18:09:54][WEBSERVER] : Iter messagefrom: %v abc@abc.com
This is not what I expect, as this is the output from the read, after multiple writes to the database. If you look at comments on the various queryString
values I have tried 2 of them return nothing when I expect all entries to be returned, and 2 of them only return the last write entry (they are all symmetric queries to my knowledge).
Does anyone know why I cannot return multiple entries using Iter or why my four different values on the different query strings I have tried are returning different results?
Thank you.
I maybe shouldn't, but I'm going to keep this here in case someone else runs into the same problem. I wasn't making sure that my primary key in my table was unique. Doing something like this:
util.CassSession.Query("CREATE TABLE cassmessage(" +
"messageto text, messagefrom text, messagecontent text, uniqueID text, PRIMARY KEY (uniqueID))").Exec()
Managed to fix the issue.
Thanks to everyone who took a look and helped. Cheers!
