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.

Methods

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

    TLS usage 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
  • 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 (int)
      Maximum number of nodes allowed. Pad so new nodes can be added without configuration changes
      Default: 16
    • max_namespaces (int)
      Similarly pad
      Default: 8
    • takeover_threshold_sec (int)
      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.

    Note

    TLS usage requires Aerospike Enterprise Edition

    • enable (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 (str)
      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 (int)
    Number of threads in the pool that is used in batch/scan/query commands.
    Default: 16
  • max_socket_idle (int)
    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 (int)
    Maximum number of pipeline connections allowed for each node
  • tend_interval (int)
    Polling interval in milliseconds for tending the cluster
    Default: 1000

    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 (str)
    Only server nodes matching this name will be used when determining the cluster name.
  • rack_id (int)
    Rack id where this client instance resides.
    In order to enable this functionality, the rack_aware needs to be set to true, the Read Policies replica needs to be set to POLICY_REPLICA_PREFER_RACK. The server rack configuration must also be configured.

    Default: 0
  • rack_aware (bool)
    Track server rack data. This is useful when directing read operations to run on the same rack as the client.
    This is useful to lower cloud provider costs when nodes are distributed across different availability zones (represented as racks).
    In order to enable this functionality, the rack_id needs to be set to local rack, the read policy replica needs to be set to POLICY_REPLICA_PREFER_RACK. The server rack configuration must also be configured.

    Default: False
  • use_services_alternate (bool)
    Flag to signify if “services-alternate” should be used instead of “services”

    Default: False
  • connect_timeout (int)
    Initial host connection timeout in milliseconds. The timeout when opening a connection to the server host for the first time.
    Default: 1000.
Returns:an instance of the aerospike.Client class.

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)

aerospike.MAP_RETURN_KEY_VALUE

Return key/value items. Note that key/value pairs will be returned as a list of tuples (i.e. [(key1, value1), (key2, value2)])

Bitwise Write Flags

aerospike.BIT_WRITE_DEFAULT

Allow create or update (default).

aerospike.BIT_WRITE_CREATE_ONLY

If bin already exists the operation is denied. Otherwise the bin is created.

aerospike.BIT_WRITE_UPDATE_ONLY

If bin does not exist the operation is denied. Otherwise the bin is updated.

aerospike.BIT_WRITE_NO_FAIL

Do not raise error if operation failed.

aerospike.BIT_WRITE_PARTIAL

Allow other valid operations to be committed if this operation is denied due to flag constraints. i.e. If the number of bytes from the offset to the end of the existing Bytes bin is less than the specified number of bytes, then only apply operations from the offset to the end.

New in version 3.9.0.

Bitwise Resize Flags

aerospike.BIT_RESIZE_DEFAULT

Add/remove bytes from the end (default).

aerospike.BIT_RESIZE_FROM_FRONT

Add/remove bytes from the front.

aerospike.BIT_RESIZE_GROW_ONLY

Only allow the bitmap size to increase.

aerospike.BIT_RESIZE_SHRINK_ONLY

Only allow the bitmap size to decrease.

New in version 3.9.0.

Bitwise Overflow

aerospike.BIT_OVERFLOW_FAIL

Operation will fail on overflow/underflow.

aerospike.BIT_OVERFLOW_SATURATE

If add or subtract ops overflow/underflow, set to max/min value. Example: MAXINT + 1 = MAXINT.

aerospike.BIT_OVERFLOW_WRAP

If add or subtract ops overflow/underflow, wrap the value. Example: MAXINT + 1 = MININT.

New in version 3.9.0.

HyperLogLog Write Flags

aerospike.HLL_WRITE_DEFAULT

Default. Allow create or update.

aerospike.HLL_WRITE_CREATE_ONLY

If the bin already exists, the operation will be denied. If the bin does not exist, a new bin will be created.

aerospike.HLL_WRITE_UPDATE_ONLY

If the bin already exists, the bin will be overwritten. If the bin does not exist, the operation will be denied.

aerospike.HLL_WRITE_NO_FAIL

Do not raise error if operation is denied.

aerospike.HLL_WRITE_ALLOW_FOLD

Allow the resulting set to be the minimum of provided index bits. For intersect_counts and similarity, allow the usage of less precise HLL algorithms when minhash bits of all participating sets do not match.

New in version 3.11.0.
