- Fluent options system to parameter runtime statements (consistency level, retry policy, …)
- Powerful and type-safe DSL to create your own queries
- Display of DML scripts & DDL statements
- Wrapper to deploy an embedded Cassandra server easily
- Tight integration with JUnit for productive TDD programming
- Support for Bean Validation (JSR-303)
- Support for Lightweight Transaction with dedicated listener interface
- Support for Materialized View
- Support for typed-safe Function calls
- Support for the new JSON API
- Support for multi-project compilation unit

since Cassandra 3.10 and DSE 5.1.x - Flexible naming strategy & insert strategy
- Runtime Schema Name Provider for multi-tenant environments
- Full compatibility with Java 8 CompletableFuture
Warning: Achilles versions 4.x are no longer maintained, only bug-fixes are supported, please migrate to version 5.x and follow the [Migration From 4.x Guide]
Installation
Below is the compatibility matrix between Achilles, Java Driver and Cassandra versions
Achilles version | Java Driver version | Cassandra version |
---|---|---|
5.3.1 (all Cassandra versions up to 3.11.0, all DSE up to 5.1.2) | 3.3.0 | 3.11.0 |
5.2.1 (all Cassandra versions up to 3.7, all DSE up to 5.0.3) | 3.1.3 | 3.7 |
5.0.0 (all Cassandra versions up to 3.7, all DSE up to 5.0.3) | 3.1.0 | 3.7 |
4.2.3 (all Cassandra versions up to 3.7, all DSE up to 5.0.3) | 3.1.0 | 3.7 |
4.0.1 (limited to Cassandra 2.2.3 features) | 3.0.0-alpha5 | 2.2.3 |
3.2.3 (limited to Cassandra 2.1.x features) | 2.1.6 | 2.1.5 |
3.0.22 (limited to Cassandra 2.0.x features) | 2.1.6 | 2.0.15 |
Warning: there will be no new features for branches older than 5.0.x. Those branches are only supported for bug fixes. New features will not be back-ported. Please upgrade to the latest version of Achilles to benefit from new features
To use Achilles, just add the following dependency in your pom.xml:
<dependency>
<groupId>info.archinnov</groupId>
<artifactId>achilles-core</artifactId>
<version>${achilles.version}</version>
</dependency>
Do not forget to deactivate incremental compilation and use Java 8 in your pom.xml file
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<source>1.8</source>
<target>1.8</target>
<useIncrementalCompilation>false</useIncrementalCompilation>
<annotationProcessors>
<annotationProcessor>info.archinnov.achilles.internals.apt.processors.meta.AchillesProcessor</annotationProcessor>
</annotationProcessors>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Achilles 5.x requires a JDK 8 to work. It is recommended to use JDK 8 update 45 or later
For unit-testing with embedded Cassandra, add this dependency with test scope:
<dependency>
<groupId>info.archinnov</groupId>
<artifactId>achilles-junit</artifactId>
<version>${achilles.version}</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
For now, Achilles depends on the following libraries:
- cassandra (see matrix version above)
- cassandra-driver-core (see matrix version above)
- Jackson core, annotations, databind & module jaxb annotations 2.3.3
- Google Auto Common 0.4
- Google Auto Service 1.0-rc2
- Java Poet 1.5.1
- Guava 18.0
- slf4j-api 1.7.2
- commons-io 2.4
- commons-lang3 3.3.2
- commons-collections 3.2.1
- validation-api 1.1.0.Final
- org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler-ecj 4.4.2
