About:
cqlkit is a command-line interface tool designed for Apache Cassandra that executes CQL queries and exports the results directly into CSV or JSON formats. It streamlines the process of data extraction for analysis, migration, or backup purposes without requiring complex scripting. The tool provides a straightforward way to bridge the gap between Cassandra databases and standard data processing pipelines.

Key Features:

Direct export to CSV and JSON formats
Simple CLI syntax for executing CQL queries
Supports connection to local and remote Cassandra clusters
Streamlined data extraction without intermediate steps

Use Cases:

Generating data dumps for analytics or reporting
Migrating Cassandra data to other database systems
Creating backups of specific query results

Alternatives:

cqlsh – The standard Cassandra shell; cqlkit adds specific export capabilities that cqlsh lacks natively.
DataStax Bulk Loader – A more complex, high-performance tool for loading/unloading; cqlkit is simpler for quick query exports.
