General Info and Prerequisites

This sample shows how to work with time series data in ScyllaDB using the Scylla Python Driver.

The following scripts performs the following:

• Create the schema (keyspace, table and secondary indexes)
• Emulate 10K sensors, each sensor emitting 2000 data points, while using prepared statements

Pre-requisites

• python 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7 or 3.8
• pip
• Scylla Python Driver
• ScyllaDB Node or Cluster up and running

Instructions

First, spin a fresh ScyllaDB Cluster:

docker run --name nodeX --publish '9042:9042' --rm -d scylladb/scylla:6.0.1 --overprovisioned 1 --smp 1

Then, make sure to install our Driver into your Python environment:

pip install scylla-driver

and run the script:

python timeseries.py -c localhost &

Tip

If you're running a cluster instead a single ScyllaDB node, you can add other node addresses splitted by comma: "-c node1,node2,node3".
