Methods

CreateKeyspace(string, CreateKeyspaceOptions)

Synchronous version of CreateKeyspaceAsync(string, CreateKeyspaceOptions)

public void CreateKeyspace(string keyspace, CreateKeyspaceOptions options = null)

Parameters

keyspace string

The name of the keyspace to create.

options CreateKeyspaceOptions

Optional settings that influence request execution.

Examples

await admin.CreateKeyspaceAsync("myKeyspace");

Remarks

This method, by default, will wait for the operation to complete on the server side. Use the options' waitForCompletion attribute to control this behaviour.

CreateKeyspaceAsync(string, CreateKeyspaceOptions)

Creates a new keyspace with the specified name.

public Task CreateKeyspaceAsync(string keyspace, CreateKeyspaceOptions options = null)

Parameters

keyspace string

The name of the keyspace to create.

options CreateKeyspaceOptions

Optional settings that influence request execution.

Returns

Task

Examples

await admin.CreateKeyspaceAsync("myKeyspace");

Remarks

This method, by default, will wait for the operation to complete on the server side. Use the options' waitForCompletion attribute to control this behaviour.

Parameters

keyspace string

The name of the keyspace to check.

options DoesKeyspaceExistOptions

Optional settings that influence request execution.

Returns

bool
