About:
CCM (Cassandra Cluster Manager) is a command-line tool designed to create and manage local Apache Cassandra clusters for testing and development. It simplifies the process of spinning up multi-node clusters on a single machine, allowing developers to simulate production environments. The tool handles node configuration, startup, and teardown, making it essential for integration testing.
Key Features:
  • Automates the creation and destruction of local Cassandra clusters
  • Supports multi-node cluster simulation on a single host
  • Provides CLI commands to manage node states (start, stop, ring)
  • Integrates with Python for scripting and test automation
Use Cases:
  • Developing and testing Cassandra schema changes locally
  • Running integration tests against a realistic multi-node cluster
  • Debugging distributed consistency issues in a sandbox environment
Alternatives:
  • Docker Compose – More flexible for containerized environments but requires more manual configuration for Cassandra specifically.
  • TestContainers – Better suited for Java-based integration tests, whereas CCM is a standalone Python tool.
