The [Cassandra / Astra DB] online store provides support for materializing feature values into an Apache Cassandra / Astra DB database for online features.
The whole project is contained within a Cassandra keyspace
Each feature view is mapped one-to-one to a specific Cassandra table
This implementation inherits all strengths of Cassandra such as high availability, fault-tolerance, and data distribution
In order to use this online store, you'll need to run pip install 'feast[cassandra]'. You can then get started with the command feast init REPO_NAME -t cassandra.
The full set of configuration options is available in . For a full explanation of configuration options please look at file sdk/python/feast/infra/online_stores/contrib/cassandra_online_store/README.md.
Storage specifications can be found at docs/specs/online_store_format.md.
