Collection operators

Collections and operators

back to top

Based on the above list of columns, phantom supports CQL 3 modify operations for CQL 3 collections: list, set, map. All operators will be available in an update query, specifically:

db.table.update
  .where(_.id eqs someId)
  .modify(_.someList $OPERATOR $args)
  .future()

List operators

Examples in ListOperatorsTest.scala.

Name	Description
prepend	Adds an item to the head of the list
prependAll	Adds multiple items to the head of the list
append	Adds an item to the tail of the list
appendAll	Adds multiple items to the tail of the list
discard	Removes the given item from the list.
discardAll	Removes all given items from the list.
setIdIx	Updates a specific index in the list

Set operators

Sets have a better performance than lists, as the Cassandra documentation suggests. Examples in SetOperationsTest.scala.

Name	Description
add	Adds an item to the tail of the set
addAll	Adds multiple items to the tail of the set
remove	Removes the given item from the set.
removeAll	Removes all given items from the set.

Map operators

Both the key and value types of a Map must be Cassandra primitives. Examples in MapOperationsTest.scala:

Name	Description
put	Adds an (key -> value) pair to the map
putAll	Adds multiple (key -> value) pairs to the map
setTo	Updates the value of a key in map, with Database.table.update.where(_.id eqs id).modify(_.map(key) setTo value).future()
