ScyllaDB (contrib)

Description

ScyllaDB is a low-latency and high-performance Cassandra-compatible (uses CQL) database. You can use the existing Cassandra connector to use ScyllaDB as an online store in Feast.

The ScyllaDB online store provides support for materializing feature values into a ScyllaDB or ScyllaDB Cloud cluster for serving online features real-time.

Getting started

Install Feast with Cassandra support:

pip install "feast[cassandra]"

Create a new Feast project:

feast init REPO_NAME -t cassandra

Example (ScyllaDB)

feature_store.yaml
project: scylla_feature_repo
registry: data/registry.db
provider: local
online_store:
    type: cassandra
    hosts:
        - 172.17.0.2
    keyspace: feast
    username: scylla
    password: password

Example (ScyllaDB Cloud)

feature_store.yaml
project: scylla_feature_repo
registry: data/registry.db
provider: local
online_store:
    type: cassandra
    hosts:
        - node-0.aws_us_east_1.xxxxxxxx.clusters.scylla.cloud
        - node-1.aws_us_east_1.xxxxxxxx.clusters.scylla.cloud
        - node-2.aws_us_east_1.xxxxxxxx.clusters.scylla.cloud
    keyspace: feast
    username: scylla
    password: password
