Python mysql example: mysql2cassandra
#! /usr/bin/env python
#
# mysql2cassandra.py
# Dump a MySQL result set to file and then import into a Cassandra column family
#
# Configuration
# mysql_params [host, port, user, password, db] MySQL conenction parameters
# mysql_columns [colname, colname2, ...] Columns for building MySQL query
# The column that will hold values of the row key in the Cassandra column family must be first
# mysql_table 'tablename' Table name for use in MySQL query
# mysql_criteria 'WHERE col=val ...' Additional criteria when constructing MySQL query (without ending semicolon)
# cassandra_params [host, port, user, password] Cassandra connection parameters
# cassandra_model [keyspace, column_family, row_key] Cassandra keyspace/CF to insert into and which MySQL column name to use as the value of the row key
# output_file "/path/to/data.csv" Path in which to save the result set dump to
# validation [0 | 1] Disable or enable validation of data types before attempting to dump and import
# Prompts for specific changes will still be given
#
# debug [0 | 1] Disable or enable debug information in STDOUT
#
# Validation
# This step is recommended to be manually done, if necessary by a database administrator due to limitations in this script:
# An example being that TINYINT(1) will be added as IntegerType rather than BooleanType
# Attempts to modify or add metadata to the column family will take place if:
# a column in the MySQL query is not present in the Cassandra column family
# a column's data type in the MySQL table structure does not match the Cassandra column family
#
# Import process
# The first column in the MySQL query will be used as the row key for each insertion into the Cassandra column family
# If row values of columns in the MySQL resultset are empty, they will be omitted from the insert into the Cassandra column family
#
# Dependencies
# mysqldb
# pycassa

# Script configuration options
