Datastax QueryBuilder insert statement

What would be the right way to build a insert statement with QueryBuilder from Datastax Java Driver for Cassandra

I am using Cassandra 2.x with Java Driver 2.0.0-rc1

I know i could use a prepared statement to achieve the same but i am looking forward to using the QueryBuilder

@Test
public void testTableInsert() {
    Insert insert = QueryBuilder
            .insertInto(KEYSPACE_NAME, TABLE_NAME)
            .value("username", "jdoe")
            .value("first", "John")
            .value("last", "Doe");
    System.out.println(insert.toString());
    ResultSet result = session.execute(insert.toString());
    System.out.println(result);

}

I can confirm the query string is valid because it succeeds when attempting manually on cqlsh

INSERT INTO test.user(username,first,last) VALUES ('jdoe','John','Doe');

The error reported by the driver is

Just ran your code and it works fine. Check that you haven't actually dropped the "user" CF and make sure that KEYSPACE_NAME is what you expect it to be (i.e. "test") – Lyuben Todorov
@LyubenTodorov thank you for trying this out. You can see my answer as to why i was seeing this error. It boils down to the Session object not refreshing its TableMetaData which is obtained when the Session object is created. – Adil F
That sounds odd, can you show me the code you are using (maybe in a gist) – Lyuben Todorov
@LyubenTodorov You can just issue the create table query before the query without recreating a session. modified code at gist.github.com/adilfulara/8944508 – Adil F
You aren't creating the keyspace in that query, you are only creating a table. Where is the keyspace created? Does it already exist? – Lyuben Todorov

You just forgot to create the keyspace.

Full code used to create a KS, create a CF and use the querybuilder to insert a partition.

public static void main(String[] Args)
{
    Cluster cluster = null;
    cluster = Cluster.builder()
                     .addContactPoint("127.0.0.1")
                     .build();
    Session session = cluster.connect();

    try
    {
        String createKS = "CREATE KEYSPACE test WITH REPLICATION = { 'class': 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor': '2' }";
        session.execute(createKS);
        String query = "create table test.user (username text primary key,first text, last text);";
        session.execute(query);

        System.out.println("insert executed");
        Insert insert = QueryBuilder.insertInto("test", "user")
                                    .value("username", "jdoe")
                                    .value("first", "John")
                                    .value("last", "Doe");
        System.out.println(insert.toString());
        ResultSet result = session.execute(insert.toString());
        System.out.println(result);
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }

    System.exit(0);
}

There is no problem in the code. The error is due to the fact that the CF being queried was created in the same session. In such a case, one needs to create a new Session to the cluster for the Session to get the TableMetaData about the CF. I just assumed that since a connection was established, the Session would update its TableMetaData before a Insert statement. Unfortunately not the case.

I just had the same problem but arrived at a different solution. In my case I had an integration test, running multiple tests against a Cassandra instance; four tests (not using batches) succeeded flawlessly, a fifth (using batches) failed.

For some reason the CQL parser converts all names to lower-case so if you have a keyspace or column family name with mixed case letters you have to surround the name of the keyspace or column family with quotes, i.e.

QueryBuilder.insertInto(String.format("\"%s\"", COLUMN_FAMILY)).…
