Backends

Reaper for Apache Cassandra can be used with either an ephemeral memory storage or persistent database. For persistent scalable database storage, a Cassandra cluster can be set up to back Reaper. To use a Cassandra cluster as the backed storage for Reaper set storageType to a value of cassandra in the Reaper configuration file.

Further information on the available storage options is provided in the following section.

Sample YAML files are available in the src/packaging/resource directory for each of the above storage options:

  • cassandra-reaper-memory.yaml
  • cassandra-reaper-cassandra.yaml

For configuring other aspects of the service, see the available configuration options in the Configuration Reference.
