The Crate Data Shell
Project description
Overview
This is the Crate shell called crash.
Installation
Installing via pip
To install crash via pip use the following command:
$ pip install crash
To update use:
$ pip install -U crash
If you are using python 2.6 and pip >= 1.5 you have to pass the allow-external argument:
$ pip install crash --allow-external argparse
Standalone
There is also a single file executable that includes all dependencies and can be run as long as python (>= 2.6) is available on the system.
The bundle can then be executed using python:
python ./crash_standalone_latest
Or:
chmod +x ./crash_standalone_latest ./crash_standalone_latest
Invocation
If the package was installed using pip the shell can be started by running the command crash in a terminal.
For usage information and command line options invoke:
crash --help

Installation & Usage
If the package was installed using pip the shell can be started by invoking crash in a terminal.
pip install crash
crash by default will try to connect to localhost:4200. To connect to another host use the connect command inside the shell or use the --hosts argument when launching the shell.
crash started with the -v switch (once or more times) will log useful information when it comes to debugging, like what connection attempts are made and full tracebacks of server errors.
For more information about the available command line arguments see Command Line Arguments.
When you connect to a server that is not reachable or whose hostname cannot be resolved you will get an error:
cr> \connect 127.0.0.1:65535 +------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-----------...-+ | server_url | node_name | version | connected | message | +------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-----------...-+ | http://127.0.0.1:65535 | NULL | 0.0.0 | FALSE | Server not... | +------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-----------...-+ CONNECT ERROR
cr> \connect 300.300.300.300:4200 +-----------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-------------...-+ | server_url | node_name | version | connected | message | +-----------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-------------...-+ | http://300.300.300.300:4200 | NULL | 0.0.0 | FALSE | Server not a... | +-----------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-------------...-+ CONNECT ERROR
Successful connects will give you some information about the servers you connect to:
cr> \connect 127.0.0.1:44209 +------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------+ | server_url | node_name | version | connected | message | +------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------+ | http://127.0.0.1:44209 | crate | ... | TRUE | OK | +------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+---------+ CONNECT OK
If you connect to more than one server, the command will succeed if at least one server is reachable:
cr> \connect 127.0.0.1:44209 300.300.300.300:4295 +-----------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-----------...-+ | server_url | node_name | version | connected | message | +-----------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-----------...-+ | http://127.0.0.1:44209 | crate | ... | TRUE | OK | | http://300.300.300.300:4295 | NULL | 0.0.0 | FALSE | Server not... | +-----------------------------+-----------+---------+-----------+-----------...-+ CONNECT OK
Once the shell is connected, SQL statements can be executed simply by entering them without any special arguments like this:
cr> SELECT schema_name, table_name FROM information_schema.tables ... ORDER BY table_name; +--------------------+-------------------+ | schema_name | table_name | +--------------------+-------------------+ | sys | cluster | | information_schema | columns | | sys | jobs | | sys | jobs_log | | sys | nodes | | sys | operations | | sys | operations_log | | information_schema | routines | | information_schema | schemata | | sys | shards | | information_schema | table_constraints | | information_schema | table_partitions | | information_schema | tables | +--------------------+-------------------+ SELECT 13 rows in set (... sec)
When the Crate shell is started with the option -v debugging information will be printed:
cr> select x from y;
SQLActionException[Table 'y' unknown]
io.crate.exceptions.TableUnknownException: Table 'y' unknown
at io.crate.metadata.ReferenceInfos.getTableInfo(ReferenceInfos.java:...)
...
Limitations
Nested Objects and Arrays
While it is possible to select or filter by nested objects it is currently not possible to insert them using crash. In order to do that the Crate REST endpoint or a client library like crate-python has to be used.
The same also applies for arrays.
