Duration

PHP Driver supports the Duration datatype

Background

Given

a running Cassandra cluster

Use the duration type

Given

the following schema:

CREATE KEYSPACE simplex WITH replication = {
  'class': 'SimpleStrategy',
  'replication_factor': 1
};
USE simplex;
CREATE TABLE duration (k text PRIMARY KEY, d duration);

And

the following example:

$cluster   = Dse::cluster()->build();
$session   = $cluster->connect("simplex");

$durations = array(
    array('two_days', new Dse\Duration(2, 0, 0)),
    array('twelve_hours', new Dse\Duration(0, 12, 0)),
    array('three_seconds', new Dse\Duration(0, 0, 3 * (1000 ** 3))),
    array('two_days_twelve_hours_and_three_seconds', new Dse\Duration(2, 12, 3 * (1000 ** 3)))
);

foreach ($durations as $duration) {
    $options = array('arguments' => $duration);
    $session->execute("INSERT INTO duration (k, d) VALUES (?, ?)", $options);
}

$rows = $session->execute("SELECT * FROM duration");

foreach ($rows as $row) {
  echo "{$row['k']}: {$row['d']}" . PHP_EOL;
}

When

it is executed

Then

its output should contain disregarding order:

twelve_hours: 0mo12d0ns
three_seconds: 0mo0d3000000000ns
two_days_twelve_hours_and_three_seconds: 2mo12d3000000000ns
two_days: 2mo0d0ns
