aerospike — Aerospike Client for Python

The Aerospike client enables you to build an application in Python with an Aerospike cluster as its database. The client manages the connections to the cluster and handles the transactions performed against it.

Data Model

At the top is the namespace, a container that has one set of policy rules for all its data, and is similar to the database concept in an RDBMS, only distributed across the cluster. A namespace is subdivided into sets, similar to tables.

Pairs of key-value data called bins make up records, similar to columns of a row in a standard RDBMS. Aerospike is schema-less, meaning that you do not need to define your bins in advance.

Records are uniquely identified by their key, and record metadata is contained in an in-memory primary index.

aerospike.client(config)

Creates a new instance of the Client class. This client can connect() to the cluster and perform operations against it, such as put() and get() records.

This is a wrapper function which calls the constructor for the Client class. The client may also be constructed by calling the constructor directly.

Parameters:config (dict) –

the client’s configuration.

  • hosts a required list of (address, port, [tls-name]) tuples identifying a node (or multiple nodes) in the cluster. The client will connect to the first available node in the list, the seed node, and will learn about the cluster and partition map from it. If tls-name is specified, it must match the tls-name specified in the node’s server configuration file and match the server’s CA certificate. Note: use of TLS requires Aerospike Enterprise Edition
  • lua an optional dict containing the paths to two types of Lua modules
    • system_path the location of the system modules such as aerospike.lua (default: /usr/local/aerospike/lua)
    • user_path the location of the user’s record and stream UDFs . (default: ./)
  • policies a dict of policies
    • read A dictionary containing read policies. See Read Policies for available policy fields and values.
    • write A dictionary containing write policies. See Write Policies for available policy fields and values.
    • apply A dictionary containing apply policies. See Apply Policies for available policy fields and values.
    • operate A dictionary containing operate policies. See Operate Policies for available policy fields and values.
    • remove A dictionary containing remove policies. See Remove Policies for available policy fields and values.
    • query A dictionary containing query policies. See Query Policies for available policy fields and values.
    • scan A dictionary containing scan policies. See Scan Policies for available policy fields and values.
    • batch A dictionary containing batch policies. See Batch Policies for available policy fields and values.
    • total_timeout default connection timeout in milliseconds (Deprecated: set this the individual policy dictionaries)
    • auth_mode a value defining how to authenticate with the server such as aerospike.AUTH_INTERNAL .
    • login_timeout_ms An integer representing Node login timeout in milliseconds. Default: 5000.
    • key default key policy, with values such as aerospike.POLICY_KEY_DIGEST (Deprecated: set this individually in the ‘read’, ‘write’, ‘apply’, ‘operate’, ‘remove’ policy dictionaries)
    • exists default exists policy, with values such as aerospike.POLICY_EXISTS_CREATE (Deprecated: set in the ‘write’ policies dictionary)
    • max_retries a int representing the number of times to retry a transaction (Deprecated: set this the individual policy dictionaries)
    • replica default replica policy, with values such as aerospike.POLICY_REPLICA_MASTER (Deprecated: set this in one or all of the ‘read’, ‘write’, ‘apply’, ‘operate’, ‘remove’ policy dictionaries)
    • commit_level default commit level policy, with values such as aerospike.POLICY_COMMIT_LEVEL_ALL (Deprecated: set this as needed individually in the ‘write’, ‘apply’, ‘operate’, ‘remove’ policy dictionaries)
  • shm a dict with optional shared-memory cluster tending parameters. Shared-memory cluster tending is on if the dict is provided. If multiple clients are instantiated talking to the same cluster the shm cluster-tending should be used.
    • max_nodes maximum number of nodes allowed. Pad so new nodes can be added without configuration changes (default: 16)
    • max_namespaces similarly pad (default: 8)
    • takeover_threshold_sec take over tending if the cluster hasn’t been checked for this many seconds (default: 30)
    • shm_key
      explicitly set the shm key for this client.
      If use_shared_connection is not set, or set to False, the user must provide a value for this field in order for shared memory to work correctly.
      If , and only if, use_shared_connection is set to True, the key will be implicitly evaluated per unique hostname, and can be inspected with shm_key() .
      It is still possible to specify a key when using use_shared_connection = True.
      (default: 0xA8000000)
  • use_shared_connection bool indicating whether this instance should share its connection to the Aerospike cluster with other client instances in the same process. (default: False)
  • tls a dict of optional TLS configuration parameters. TLS usage requires Aerospike Enterprise Edition
    • enable a bool indicating whether tls should be enabled or not. Default: False
    • cafile str Path to a trusted CA certificate file. By default TLS will use system standard trusted CA certificates
    • capath str Path to a directory of trusted certificates. See the OpenSSL SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations manual page for more information about the format of the directory.
    • protocols Specifies enabled protocols. This format is the same as Apache’s SSLProtocol documented at https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslprotocol . If not specified the client will use “-all +TLSv1.2”.
    • cipher_suite str Specifies enabled cipher suites. The format is the same as OpenSSL’s Cipher List Format documented at https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/apps/ciphers.html .If not specified the OpenSSL default cipher suite described in the ciphers documentation will be used. If you are not sure what cipher suite to select this option is best left unspecified
    • keyfile str Path to the client’s key for mutual authentication. By default mutual authentication is disabled.
    • keyfile_pw str Decryption password for the client’s key for mutual authentication. By default the key is assumed not to be encrypted.
    • cert_blacklist str Path to a certificate blacklist file. The file should contain one line for each blacklisted certificate. Each line starts with the certificate serial number expressed in hex. Each entry may optionally specify the issuer name of the certificate (serial numbers are only required to be unique per issuer). Example records: 867EC87482B2 /C=US/ST=CA/O=Acme/OU=Engineering/CN=Test Chain CA E2D4B0E570F9EF8E885C065899886461
    • certfile str Path to the client’s certificate chain file for mutual authentication. By default mutual authentication is disabled.
    • crl_check bool Enable CRL checking for the certificate chain leaf certificate. An error occurs if a suitable CRL cannot be found. By default CRL checking is disabled.
    • crl_check_all bool Enable CRL checking for the entire certificate chain. An error occurs if a suitable CRL cannot be found. By default CRL checking is disabled.
    • log_session_info bool Log session information for each connection.
    • for_login_only bool Log session information for each connection. Use TLS connections only for login authentication. All other communication with the server will be done with non-TLS connections. Default: False (Use TLS connections for all communication with server.)
  • serialization an optional instance-level tuple() of (serializer, deserializer). Takes precedence over a class serializer registered with set_serializer().
  • thread_pool_size number of threads in the pool that is used in batch/scan/query commands (default: 16)
  • max_socket_idle Maximum socket idle time in seconds. Connection pools will discard sockets that have
    been idle longer than the maximum. The value is limited to 24 hours (86400). It’s important to set this value to a few seconds less than the server’s proto-fd-idle-ms (default 60000 milliseconds or 1 minute), so the client does not attempt to use a socket that has already been reaped by the server. Default: 0 seconds (disabled) for non-TLS connections, 55 seconds for TLS connections.
  • max_conns_per_node maximum number of pipeline connections allowed for each node
  • tend_interval polling interval in milliseconds for tending the cluster (default: 1000)
  • compression_threshold compress data for transmission if the object size is greater than a given number of bytes (default: 0, meaning ‘never compress’) (Deprecated, set this in the ‘write’ policy dictionary)
  • cluster_name only server nodes matching this name will be used when determining the cluster
  • rack_id
    An integer. Rack where this client instance resides.
    rack_aware and POLICY_REPLICA_PREFER_RACK and server rack configuration must also be set to enable this functionality.
    Default 0.
  • rack_aware
    Boolean. Track server rack data.
    This field is useful when directing read commands to the server node that contains the key and exists on the same rack as the client.
    This serves to lower cloud provider costs when nodes are distributed across different racks/data centers.
    rack_id and POLICY_REPLICA_PREFER_RACK and server rack configuration must also be set to enable this functionality.
    Default False
  • use_services_alternate
    Boolean. Flag to signify if “services-alternate” should be used instead of “services”
    Default False
Returns:an instance of the aerospike.Client class.

pp.pprint(digest)

Serialization

Note

By default, the aerospike.Client maps the supported types int, str, float, bytearray, list, dict to matching aerospike server types (int, string, double, bytes, list, map). When an unsupported type is encountered, the module uses cPickle to serialize and deserialize the data, storing it into as_bytes of type ‘Python’ (AS_BYTES_PYTHON).

The functions set_serializer() and set_deserializer() allow for user-defined functions to handle serialization, instead. The serialized data is stored as ‘Generic’ as_bytes of type (AS_BYTES_BLOB). The serialization config param of aerospike.client() registers an instance-level pair of functions that handle serialization.

aerospike.set_serializer(callback)

Register a user-defined serializer available to all aerospike.Client instances.

Parameters:callback (callable) – the function to invoke for serialization.

See also

To use this function with put() the argument to serializer should be aerospike.SERIALIZER_USER.

import aerospike
import json

def my_serializer(val):
    return json.dumps(val)

aerospike.set_serializer(my_serializer)

New in version 1.0.39.

aerospike.set_deserializer(callback)

Register a user-defined deserializer available to all aerospike.Client instances. Once registered, all read methods (such as get()) will run bins containing ‘Generic’ as_bytes of type (AS_BYTES_BLOB) through this deserializer.

Parameters:callback (callable) – the function to invoke for deserialization.
aerospike.unset_serializers()

Deregister the user-defined de/serializer available from aerospike.Client instances.

New in version 1.0.53.

Note

Serialization Examples

The following example shows the three modes of serialization - built-in, class-level user functions, instance-level user functions:

from __future__ import print_function
import aerospike
import marshal
import json

def go_marshal(val):
    return marshal.dumps(val)

def demarshal(val):
    return marshal.loads(val)

def jsonize(val):
    return json.dumps(val)

def dejsonize(val):
    return json.loads(val)

aerospike.set_serializer(go_marshal)
aerospike.set_deserializer(demarshal)
config = {'hosts':[('127.0.0.1', 3000)]}
client = aerospike.client(config).connect()
config['serialization'] = (jsonize,dejsonize)
client2 = aerospike.client(config).connect()

for i in xrange(1, 4):
    try:
        client.remove(('test', 'demo', 'foo' + i))
    except:
        pass

bin_ = {'t': (1, 2, 3)} # tuple is an unsupported type
print("Use the built-in serialization (cPickle)")
client.put(('test','demo','foo1'), bin_)
(key, meta, bins) = client.get(('test','demo','foo1'))
print(bins)

print("Use the class-level user-defined serialization (marshal)")
client.put(('test','demo','foo2'), bin_, serializer=aerospike.SERIALIZER_USER)
(key, meta, bins) = client.get(('test','demo','foo2'))
print(bins)

print("Use the instance-level user-defined serialization (json)")
client2.put(('test','demo','foo3'), bin_, serializer=aerospike.SERIALIZER_USER)
# notice that json-encoding a tuple produces a list
(key, meta, bins) = client2.get(('test','demo','foo3'))
print(bins)
client.close()

The expected output is:

Use the built-in serialization (cPickle)
{'i': 321, 't': (1, 2, 3)}
Use the class-level user-defined serialization (marshal)
{'i': 321, 't': (1, 2, 3)}
Use the instance-level user-defined serialization (json)
{'i': 321, 't': [1, 2, 3]}

While AQL shows the records as having the following structure:

aql> select i,t from test.demo where PK='foo1'
+-----+----------------------------------------------+
| i   | t                                            |
+-----+----------------------------------------------+
| 321 | 28 49 31 0A 49 32 0A 49 33 0A 74 70 31 0A 2E |
+-----+----------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.000 secs)

aql> select i,t from test.demo where PK='foo2'
+-----+-------------------------------------------------------------+
| i   | t                                                           |
+-----+-------------------------------------------------------------+
| 321 | 28 03 00 00 00 69 01 00 00 00 69 02 00 00 00 69 03 00 00 00 |
+-----+-------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.000 secs)

aql> select i,t from test.demo where PK='foo3'
+-----+----------------------------+
| i   | t                          |
+-----+----------------------------+
| 321 | 5B 31 2C 20 32 2C 20 33 5D |
+-----+----------------------------+
1 row in set (0.000 secs)

Logging

aerospike.set_log_handler(callback)

Set a user-defined function as the log handler for all aerospike objects. The callback is invoked whenever a log event passing the logging level threshold is encountered.

Note

The callback function must have the five parameters (level, func, path, line, msg)

from __future__ import print_function
import aerospike

def as_logger(level, func, path, line, msg):
def as_logger(level, func, myfile, line, msg):
    print("**", myfile, line, func, ':: ', msg, "**")

Data_Mapping — Python Data Mappings

How Python types map to server types

Note

By default, the aerospike.Client maps the supported types int, str, float, bytearray, list, dict to matching aerospike server types (int, string, double, blob, list, map). When an unsupported type is encountered, the module uses cPickle to serialize and deserialize the data, storing it into a blob of type ‘Python’ (AS_BYTES_PYTHON).

The functions set_serializer() and set_deserializer() allow for user-defined functions to handle serialization, instead. The user provided function will be run instead of cPickle. The serialized data is stored as type (AS_BYTES_BLOB). This type allows the storage of binary data readable by Aerospike Clients in other languages. The serialization config param of aerospike.client() registers an instance-level pair of functions that handle serialization.

Unless a user specified serializer has been provided, all other types will be stored as Python specific bytes. Python specific bytes may not be readable by Aerospike Clients for other languages.

The following table shows which Python types map directly to Aerospike server types.

Python Type server type
int integer
long integer
str string
unicode string
float double
dict map
list list
bytearray blob
aerospike.GeoJSON GeoJSON

It is possible to nest these datatypes. For example a list may contain a dictionary, or a dictionary may contain a list as a value.

Note

Unless a user specified serializer has been provided, all other types will be stored as Python specific bytes. Python specific bytes may not be readable by Aerospike Clients for other languages.

Client Class — Client

Client

The client connects through a seed node (the address of a single node) to an Aerospike database cluster. From the seed node, the client learns of the other nodes and establishes connections to them. It also gets the partition map of the cluster, which is how it knows where every record actually lives.

The client handles the connections, including re-establishing them ahead of executing an operation. It keeps track of changes to the cluster through a cluster-tending thread.

Client Architecture and Data Distribution.

class aerospike.Client

Example:

from __future__ import print_function
# import the module
import aerospike
from aerospike import exception as ex
import sys

# Configure the client
config = {
    'hosts': [ ('127.0.0.1', 3000) ]
}

# Optionally set policies for various method types
write_policies = {'total_timeout': 2000, 'max_retries': 0}
read_policies = {'total_timeout': 1500, 'max_retries': 1}
policies = {'write': write_policies, 'read': read_policies}
config['policies'] = policies

# Create a client and connect it to the cluster
try:
    client = aerospike.client(config).connect()
except ex.ClientError as e:
    print("Error: {0} [{1}]".format(e.msg, e.code))
    sys.exit(1)

# Records are addressable via a tuple of (namespace, set, primary key)
key = ('test', 'demo', 'foo')

try:
    # Write a record
    client.put(key, {
        'name': 'John Doe',
        'age': 32
    })
except ex.RecordError as e:
    print("Error: {0} [{1}]".format(e.msg, e.code))

# Read a record
(key, meta, record) = client.get(key)

# Close the connection to the Aerospike cluster
client.close()
Connection
class aerospike.Client
connect([username, password])

Connect to the cluster. The optional username and password only apply when connecting to the Enterprise Edition of Aerospike.

Parameters:
  • username (str) – a defined user with roles in the cluster. See admin_create_user().
  • password (str) – the password will be hashed by the client using bcrypt.
Raises:

ClientError, for example when a connection cannot be established to a seed node (any single node in the cluster from which the client learns of the other nodes).

See also

Security features article.

is_connected()

Tests the connections between the client and the nodes of the cluster. If the result is False, the client will require another call to connect().

Return type:bool

Changed in version 2.0.0.

close()

Close all connections to the cluster. It is recommended to explicitly call this method when the program is done communicating with the cluster.

Record Operations
class aerospike.Client
put(key, bins[, meta[, policy[, serializer]]])

Write a record with a given key to the cluster.

Parameters:
  • key (tuple) – a Key Tuple tuple associated with the record.
  • bins (dict) – a dict of bin-name / bin-value pairs.
  • meta (dict) – optional record metadata to be set, with field 'ttl' set to int number of seconds or one of aerospike.TTL_NAMESPACE_DEFAULT, aerospike.TTL_NEVER_EXPIRE, aerospike.TTL_DONT_UPDATE
  • policy (dict) – optional Write Policies.
  • serializer – optionally override the serialization mode of the client with one of the Serialization Constants. To use a class-level user-defined serialization function registered with aerospike.set_serializer() use aerospike.SERIALIZER_USER.
Raises:

a subclass of AerospikeError.

 
from __future__ import print_function
import aerospike
from aerospike import exception as ex

config = {
    'hosts': [ ('127.0.0.1', 3000) ],
    'total_timeout': 1500
}
client = aerospike.client(config).connect()
try:
    key = ('test', 'demo', 1)
    bins = {
        'l': [ "qwertyuiop", 1, bytearray("asd;as[d'as;d", "utf-8") ],
        'm': { "key": "asd';q;'1';" },
        'i': 1234,
        'f': 3.14159265359,
        's': '!@#@#$QSDAsd;as'
    }
    client.put(key, bins,
             policy={'key': aerospike.POLICY_KEY_SEND},
             meta={'ttl':180})
    # adding a bin
    client.put(key, {'smiley': u"\ud83d\ude04"})
    # removing a bin
    client.put(key, {'i': aerospike.null()})
except ex.AerospikeError as e:
    print("Error: {0} [{1}]".format(e.msg, e.code))
    sys.exit(1)
finally:
    client.close()

Note

Using Generation Policy

The generation policy allows a record to be written only when the generation is a specific value. In the following example, we only want to write the record if no change has occurred since exists() was called.

from __future__ import print_function
import aerospike
from aerospike import exception as ex
import sys

config = { 'hosts': [ ('127.0.0.1',3000)]}
client = aerospike.client(config).connect()

try:
    (key, meta) = client.exists(('test','test','key1'))
    print(meta)
    print('============')
    client.put(('test','test','key1'), {'id':1,'a':2},
        meta={'gen': 33},
        policy={'gen':aerospike.POLICY_GEN_EQ})
    print('Record written.')
except ex.RecordGenerationError:
    print("put() failed due to generation policy mismatch")
except ex.AerospikeError as e:
    print("Error: {0} [{1}]".format(e.msg, e.code))
client.close()
exists(key[, policy]) -> (key, meta)

Check if a record with a given key exists in the cluster and return the record as a tuple() consisting of key and meta. If the record does not exist the meta data will be None.

Parameters:
Return type:

tuple() (key, meta)
Raises:

a subclass of AerospikeError.

 
from __future__ import print_function
import aerospike
from aerospike import exception as ex
import sys

config = { 'hosts': [('127.0.0.1', 3000)] }
client = aerospike.client(config).connect()

try:
    # assuming a record with such a key exists in the cluster
    key = ('test', 'demo', 1)
    (key, meta) = client.exists(key)
    print(key)
    print('--------------------------')
    print(meta)
except ex.RecordNotFound:
    print("Record not found:", key)
except ex.AerospikeError as e:
    print("Error: {0} [{1}]".format(e.msg, e.code))
    sys.exit(1)
finally:
    client.close()

Changed in version 2.0.3.

get(key[, policy]) -> (key, meta, bins)

Read a record with a given key, and return the record as a tuple() consisting of key, meta and bins.

Parameters:
Returns:

a Record Tuple. See Unicode Handling.
Raises:

RecordNotFound.

 
from __future__ import print_function
import aerospike
from aerospike import exception as ex
import sys

config = {'hosts': [('127.0.0.1', 3000)]}
client = aerospike.client(config).connect()

try:
    # assuming a record with such a key exists in the cluster
    key = ('test', 'demo', 1)
    (key, meta, bins) = client.get(key)
    print(key)
    print('--------------------------')
    print(meta)
    print('--------------------------')
    print(bins)
except ex.RecordNotFound:
    print("Record not found:", key)
except ex.AerospikeError as e:
    print("Error: {0} [{1}]".format(e.msg, e.code))
    sys.exit(1)
finally:
    client.close()

Warning

The client has been changed to raise a RecordNotFound exception when get() does not find the record. Code that used to check for meta != None should be modified.

Changed in version 2.0.0.

select(key, bins[, policy]) -> (key, meta, bins)

Read a record with a given key, and return the record as a tuple() consisting of key, meta and bins, with the specified bins projected.

except ex.AerospikeError as e:
    print("Error: {0} [{1}]".format(e.msg, e.code))
    sys.exit(1)
finally:
    client.close()

Warning

The client has been changed to raise a RecordNotFound exception when select() does not find the record. Code that used to check for meta != None should be modified.

Changed in version 2.0.0.

List Operations
class aerospike.Client

Note

List operations require server version >= 3.7.0

List operations support negative indexing. If the index is negative, the resolved index starts backwards from end of list.

Index examples:
  • 0: first element in the list
  • 4: fifth element in the list
  • -1: last element in the list
Index range examples:
  • 1, count 2: second and third elements in the list
  • -3, count 3: last three elements in the list

If an index is out of bounds, a parameter error will be returned. If a range is partially out of bounds, the valid part of the range will be returned.

Map Operations
class aerospike.Client

Note

Map operations require server version >= 3.8.4

All maps maintain an index and a rank. Map supports negative indexing for index and rank.

An index in the context of the map API is the order of a particular key in a map. The key with the lowest key value has index 0.

A rank is the order of a particular value in a map. If multiple copies of a value exist, the ranks of those copies are based on their key ordering.

Index examples:
  • 0: lowest key in the map
  • 4: fifth key in the map
  • -1: highest key in the map
Index range examples:
  • 1, count 2: second and third keys in the map
  • -3, count 3: highest three keys in the map
Rank examples:
  • 0: element with the lowest value rank in the map
  • -1: element with the highest ranked value in the map
Rank range examples:
  • 1, count 2: second and third lowest ranked elements in the map
  • -3, count 3: top three ranked elements in the map.

The default map order is aerospike.MAP_UNORDERED.

Multi-Ops (Operate)
class aerospike.Client
operate(key, list[, meta[, policy]]) -> (key, meta, bins)

Perform multiple bin operations on a record with a given key, In Aerospike server versions prior to 3.6.0, non-existent bins being read will have a None value. Starting with 3.6.0 non-existent bins will not be present in the returned Record Tuple. The returned record tuple will only contain one element per bin, even if multiple operations were performed on the bin.

Parameters:
  • key (tuple) – a Key Tuple associated with the record.
  • list (list) – a list of one or more bin operations, each structured as the dict {'bin': bin name, 'op': aerospike.OPERATOR_* [, 'val': value]}. See Operators.
  • meta (dict) – optional record metadata to be set, with field 'ttl' set to int number of seconds or one of aerospike.TTL_NAMESPACE_DEFAULT, aerospike.TTL_NEVER_EXPIRE, aerospike.TTL_DONT_UPDATE
  • policy (dict) – optional Operate Policies.
Returns:

a Record Tuple. See Unicode Handling.
Raises:

a subclass of AerospikeError.

Note

In version 2.1.3 the return format of certain bin entries for this method, only in cases when a map operation specifying a `return_type` is used, has changed. Bin entries for map operations using “return_type” of aerospike.MAP_RETURN_KEY_VALUE will now return a bin value of a list of keys and corresponding values, rather than a list of key/value tuples. See the following code block for details.

# pre 2.1.3 formatting of key/value bin value
[('key1', 'val1'), ('key2', 'val2'), ('key3', 'val3')]

# >= 2.1.3 formatting
['key1', 'val1', 'key2', 'val2', 'key3', 'val3']

Note

operate() can now have multiple write operations on a single bin.

            #  Handle the error gracefully here
            output[host] = e
    return output

Send an info command to all nodes in the cluster and filter responses to only include nodes specified in a hosts list.

Parameters:

truncate(namespace, set, nanos[, policy])

Remove records in specified namespace/set efficiently. This method is many orders of magnitude faster than deleting records one at a time. Works with Aerospike Server versions >= 3.12. See Truncate command reference.

This asynchronous server call may return before the truncation is complete. The user can still write new records after the server returns because new records will have last update times greater than the truncate cutoff (set at the time of truncate call)

Parameters:
  • namespace (str) – The namespace on which the truncation operation should be performed.
  • set (str) – The set to truncate. Pass in None to indicate that all records in the namespace should be truncated.
  • nanos (long) – A cutoff threshold indicating that records last updated before the threshold will be removed.Units are in nanoseconds since unix epoch (1970-01-01). A value of 0 indicates that all records in the set should be truncated regardless of update time. The value must not be in the future.
  • policy (dict) – Optional Info Policies
Return type:

Status indicating the success of the operation.
Raises:

a subclass of AerospikeError.

Admin Operations
class aerospike.Client

Note

The admin methods implement the security features of the Enterprise Edition of Aerospike. These methods will raise a SecurityNotSupported when the client is connected to a Community Edition cluster (see aerospike.exception).

A user is validated by the client against the server whenever a connection is established through the use of a username and password (passwords hashed using bcrypt). When security is enabled, each operation is validated against the user’s roles. Users are assigned roles, which are collections of Privilege Objects.

import aerospike
from aerospike import exception as ex
import time

config = {'hosts': [('127.0.0.1', 3000)] }
client = aerospike.client(config).connect('ipji', 'life is good')

try:
    dev_privileges = [{'code': aerospike.PRIV_READ}, {'code': aerospike.PRIV_READ_WRITE}]
    client.admin_create_role('dev_role', dev_privileges)
    client.admin_grant_privileges('dev_role', [{'code': aerospike.PRIV_READ_WRITE_UDF}])
    client.admin_create_user('dev', 'you young whatchacallit... idiot', ['dev_role'])
    time.sleep(1)
    print(client.admin_query_user('dev'))

Key Tuple
key

The key tuple, which is sent and returned by various operations, has the structure

(namespace, set, primary key[, the record's RIPEMD-160 digest])

  • namespace the str name of the namespace, which must be preconfigured on the cluster.
  • set the str name of the set. Will be created automatically if it does not exist.
  • primary key the value by which the client-side application identifies the record, which can be of type str, int or bytearray.
  • digest the first three parts of the tuple get hashed through RIPEMD-160, and the digest used by the clients and cluster nodes to locate the record. A key tuple is also valid if it has the digest part filled and the primary key part set to None.
>>> client = aerospike.client(config).connect()
>>> client.put(('test','demo','oof'), {'id':0, 'a':1})
>>> (key, meta, bins) = client.get(('test','demo','oof'))
>>> key
('test', 'demo', None, bytearray(b'\ti\xcb\xb9\xb6V#V\xecI#\xealu\x05\x00H\x98\xe4='))
>>> (key2, meta2, bins2) = client.get(key)
>>> bins2
{'a': 1, 'id': 0}
>>> client.close()

Record Tuple
record

The record tuple (key, meta, bins) which is returned by various read operations.

  • key the Key Tuple.
  • meta a dict containing {'gen' : genration value, 'ttl': ttl value}.
  • bins a dict containing bin-name/bin-value pairs.

See also

Data Model: Record.

Unicode Handling

Both str and unicode() values are converted by the client into UTF-8 encoded strings for storage on the aerospike server. Read methods such as get(), query(), scan() and operate() will return that data as UTF-8 encoded str values. To get a unicode() you will need to manually decode.

Warning

Prior to release 1.0.43 read operations always returned strings as unicode().

>>> client.put(key, { 'name': 'Dr. Zeta Alphabeta', 'age': 47})
>>> (key, meta, record) = client.get(key)
>>> type(record['name'])
<type 'str'>
>>> record['name']
'Dr. Zeta Alphabeta'
>>> client.put(key, { 'name': unichr(0x2603), 'age': 21})
>>> (key, meta, record) = client.get(key)
>>> type(record['name'])
<type 'str'>
>>> record['name']
'\xe2\x98\x83'
>>> print(record['name'])
☃
>>> name = record['name'].decode('utf-8')
>>> type(name)
<type 'unicode'>
>>> name
u'\u2603'
>>> print(name)
☃
Write Policies
policy

A dict of optional write policies, which are applicable to put(), query_apply(). remove_bin().

  • max_retries
    An int. Maximum number of retries before aborting the current transaction. The initial attempt is not counted as a retry.

    If max_retries is exceeded, the transaction will return error AEROSPIKE_ERR_TIMEOUT.

    WARNING: Database writes that are not idempotent (such as “add”) should not be retried because the write operation may be performed multiple times
    if the client timed out previous transaction attempts. It’s important to use a distinct write policy for non-idempotent writes, which sets max_retries = 0;

    Default: 0
  • sleep_between_retries
    An int. Milliseconds to sleep between retries. Enter zero to skip sleep. Default: 0
  • socket_timeout
    An int. Socket idle timeout in milliseconds when processing a database command.

Scan Class — Scan

Scan

class aerospike.Scan

The Scan object is used to return all the records in a specified set (which can be ommitted or None). A Scan with a None set returns all the records in the namespace.

The scan is invoked using either foreach() or results(). The bins returned can be filtered using select().

See also

Scans and Managing Scans.

select(bin1[, bin2[, bin3..]])

Set a filter on the record bins resulting from results() or foreach(). If a selected bin does not exist in a record it will not appear in the bins portion of that record tuple.

results([policy[, nodename]]) -> list of (key, meta, bins)

Buffer the records resulting from the scan, and return them as a list of records.

Parameters:
  • policy (dict) – optional Scan Policies.
  • nodename (str) – optional Node ID of node used to limit the scan to a single node.
Returns:

a list of Record Tuple.

Scan Policies
policy

A dict of optional scan policies which are applicable to Scan.results() and Scan.foreach(). See Policies.

  • max_retries
    An int. Maximum number of retries before aborting the current transaction. The initial attempt is not counted as a retry.

    If max_retries is exceeded, the transaction will return error AEROSPIKE_ERR_TIMEOUT.

    WARNING: Database writes that are not idempotent (such as “add”) should not be retried because the write operation may be performed multiple times
    if the client timed out previous transaction attempts. It’s important to use a distinct write policy for non-idempotent writes which sets max_retries = 0;

    Default: 0
  • sleep_between_retries
    An int. Milliseconds to sleep between retries. Enter zero to skip sleep. Default: 0
  • socket_timeout
    An int. Socket idle timeout in milliseconds when processing a database command.

    If socket_timeout is not zero and the socket has been idle for at least socket_timeout, both max_retries and total_timeout are checked. If max_retries and total_timeout are not exceeded, the transaction is retried.

    If both socket_timeout and total_timeout are non-zero and socket_timeout > total_timeout, then socket_timeout will be set to total_timeout. If socket_timeout is zero, there will be no socket idle limit.

    Default: 30000.
  • total_timeout
    An int. Total transaction timeout in milliseconds.

    The total_timeout is tracked on the client and sent to the server along with the transaction in the wire protocol. The client will most likely timeout first, but the server also has the capability to timeout the transaction.

    If total_timeout is not zero and total_timeout is reached before the transaction completes, the transaction will return error AEROSPIKE_ERR_TIMEOUT. If total_timeout is zero, there will be no total time limit.

    Default: 0

  • fail_on_cluster_change bool: Abort the scan if the cluster is not in a stable state. Default: False

  • durable_delete
    A bool : If the transaction results in a record deletion, leave a tombstone for the record.

    This prevents deleted records from reappearing after node failures.

    Valid for Aerospike Server Enterprise Edition only.

    Default: False (do not tombstone deleted records).
Scan Options
options

A dict of optional scan options which are applicable to Scan.foreach().

  • priority See Scan Constants for values. Default aerospike.SCAN_PRIORITY_AUTO.
  • nobins bool whether to return the bins portion of the Record Tuple. Default False.
  • concurrent bool whether to run the scan concurrently on all nodes of the cluster. Default False.
  • percent int percentage of records to return from the scan. Default 100.

New in version 1.0.39.

Query Class — Query

Query

class aerospike.Query

The Query object created by calling aerospike.Client.query() is used for executing queries over a secondary index of a specified set (which can be omitted or None). For queries, the None set contains those records which are not part of any named set.

The Query can (optionally) be assigned one of the predicates (between() or equals()) using where(). A query without a predicate will match all the records in the given set, similar to a Scan.

The query is invoked using either foreach() or results(). The bins returned can be filtered by using select().

Finally, a stream UDF may be applied with apply(). It will aggregate results out of the records streaming back from the query.

See also

Queries and Managing Queries.

select(bin1[, bin2[, bin3..]])

Set a filter on the record bins resulting from results() or foreach(). If a selected bin does not exist in a record it will not appear in the bins portion of that record tuple.

where(predicate)

Set a where predicate for the query, without which the query will behave similar to aerospike.Scan. The predicate is produced by one of the aerospike.predicates methods equals() and between().

Parameters:predicate (tuple) – the tuple() produced by one of the aerospike.predicates methods.

Note

Currently, you can assign at most one predicate to the query.

results([,policy [, options]]) -> list of (key, meta, bins)

Buffer the records resulting from the query, and return them as a list of records.

Parameters:
Returns:

a list of Record Tuple.

query.where(p.equals('age', 40))
records = query.results( {'total_timeout':2000})
pp.pprint(records)
client.close()

Note

Queries require a secondary index to exist on the bin being queried.

client.close()
apply(module, function[, arguments])

Aggregate the results() using a stream UDF. If no predicate is attached to the Query the stream UDF will aggregate over all the records in the specified set.

Parameters:
  • module (str) – the name of the Lua module.
  • function (str) – the name of the Lua function within the module.
  • arguments (list) – optional arguments to pass to the function.
Returns:

one of the supported types, int, str, float (double), list, dict (map), bytearray (bytes).

Developing Stream UDFs

Note

Assume we registered the following Lua module with the cluster as stream_udf.lua using aerospike.Client.udf_put().

local function having_ge_threshold(bin_having, ge_threshold)
    return function(rec)
        debug("group_count::thresh_filter: %s >  %s ?", tostring(rec[bin_having]), tostring(ge_threshold))
        if rec[bin_having] < ge_threshold then
            return false
        end
        return true
    end
end

local function count(group_by_bin)
  return function(group, rec)
    if rec[group_by_bin] then
      local bin_name = rec[group_by_bin]
      group[bin_name] = (group[bin_name] or 0) + 1
      debug("group_count::count: bin %s has value %s which has the count of %s", tostring(bin_name), tostring(group[bin_name]))
    end
    return group
  end
end

local function add_values(val1, val2)
  return val1 + val2
end

local function reduce_groups(a, b)
  return map.merge(a, b, add_values)
end

function group_count(stream, group_by_bin, bin_having, ge_threshold)
  if bin_having and ge_threshold then
    local myfilter = having_ge_threshold(bin_having, ge_threshold)
    return stream : filter(myfilter) : aggregate(map{}, count(group_by_bin)) : reduce(reduce_groups)
  else
    return stream : aggregate(map{}, count(group_by_bin)) : reduce(reduce_groups)
  end
end

Find the first name distribution of users in their twenties using a query aggregation:

import aerospike
from aerospike import predicates as p
import pprint

config = {'hosts': [('127.0.0.1', 3000)],
          'lua': {'system_path':'/usr/local/aerospike/lua/',
                  'user_path':'/usr/local/aerospike/usr-lua/'}}
client = aerospike.client(config).connect()

pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=2)
query = client.query('test', 'users')
query.where(p.between('age', 20, 29))
query.apply('stream_udf', 'group_count', [ 'first_name' ])
names = query.results()
# we expect a dict (map) whose keys are names, each with a count value
pp.pprint(names)
client.close()

With stream UDFs, the final reduce steps (which ties the results from the reducers of the cluster nodes) executes on the client-side. Explicitly setting the Lua user_path in the config helps the client find the local copy of the module containing the stream UDF. The system_path is constructed when the Python package is installed, and contains system modules such as aerospike.lua, as.lua, and stream_ops.lua. The default value for the Lua system_path is /usr/local/aerospike/lua.

GeoJSON Class — GeoJSON

GeoJSON

class aerospike.GeoJSON

Starting with version 3.7.0, the Aerospike server supports storing GeoJSON data. A Geo2DSphere index can be built on a bin which contains GeoJSON data, enabling queries for the points contained within given shapes using geo_within_geojson_region() and geo_within_radius(), and for the regions which contain a point using geo_contains_geojson_point() and geo_contains_point().

On the client side, wrapping geospatial data in an instance of the aerospike.GeoJSON class enables serialization of the data into the correct type during write operation, such as put(). On reading a record from the server, bins with geospatial data it will be deserialized into a GeoJSON instance.
