PHP Client API

You can develop applications and tools using Riak TS with the Riak PHP client. This document covers the PHP API for Riak TS.

Overview

TS support within the PHP client is implemented through the following 5 command builders:

• Basho\Riak\Command\Builder\TimeSeries\StoreRows
• Basho\Riak\Command\Builder\TimeSeries\FetchRow
• Basho\Riak\Command\Builder\TimeSeries\DeleteRow
• Basho\Riak\Command\Builder\TimeSeries\Query
• Basho\Riak\Command\Builder\TimeSeries\DescribeTable

Data Types

• Cell - Holds the cell name and a single piece of data.
• Row - An array of cells.

Data Type Details

Cell

A cell contains a piece of data for a row in a Riak TS table.

Note: Cells are immutable once created.

A cell can hold 5 different types of raw data:

• Varchar - standard PHP string
• SInt64 - any signed 64-bit integers.
• Double - any 64-bit floating point numbers.
• Timestamp - any Unix epoch timestamp
• Boolean - a true/false value.

Constructors

A cell is constructed by providing the name of the column the cell resides in, e.g. $cell = (new Cell("region"))->setValue("South Atlantic")

Instance Methods

Cells have object getters to retrieve the column name, the cell value and the data type of the value.

Row

A row contains an array of cells.

\Basho\Riak\Command\TimeSeries\Response

The object returned by all non-query commands (Store, Fetch, Delete). Fetch command will have values populated in instance method getRow().

\Basho\Riak\Command\TimeSeries\Query\Response

The query response is the result set from a query command. The response object will have the first row available within getResult() and all results within getResults().

Note: Query results are immutable.

Command Classes Index

All command classes have a Builder class to create and build each command.

• Delete - Deletes a single row by it’s key values.
• Fetch - Fetches a single row by it’s key values.
• Query - Allows you to query a Riak TS table with the given query string.
• Store - Stores data in the Riak TS table.

Command Class Details

Each command is created through a Builder class. This pattern ensures the commands are created as correctly as possible. To create the command from the builder, call the .build() method.

To execute any command, you must have an instance of a \Basho\Riak object. You then pass the Riak object as a parameter into the constructor of the command builder.

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

use Basho\Riak;
use Basho\Riak\Command;
use Basho\Riak\Node;

$node = (new Node\Builder)
    ->atHost('riak-test')
    ->onPort(8087)
    ->build();

$riak = new Riak([$node], [], new Riak\Api\Pb());

# create table
$table_definition = "
    CREATE TABLE %s (
        region varchar not null,
        state varchar not null,
        time timestamp not null,
        weather varchar not null,
        temperature double,
        PRIMARY KEY((region, state, quantum(time, 15, 'm')), region, state, time)
    )";

$command = (new Command\Builder\TimeSeries\Query($riak))
    ->withQuery(sprintf($table_definition, "GeoCheckins"))
    ->build();

if (!$response->isSuccess()) {
    echo $response->getMessage();
    exit;
}

Delete

Deletes a single row by it’s key values.

# delete a row
$response = (new Command\Builder\TimeSeries\DeleteRow($riak))
    ->atKey([
        (new Cell("region"))->setValue("South Atlantic"),
        (new Cell("state"))->setValue("South Carolina"),
        (new Cell("time"))->setTimestampValue(1420113600),
    ])
    ->inTable('GeoCheckins')
    ->build()
    ->execute();

if (!$response->isSuccess()) {
    echo $response->getMessage();
    exit;
}

Fetch

Fetches a single row by it’s key values.

/** @var Command\TimeSeries\Response $response */
$response = (new Command\Builder\TimeSeries\FetchRow($riak))
    ->atKey([
        (new Cell("region"))->setValue("South Atlantic"),
        (new Cell("state"))->setValue("South Carolina"),
        (new Cell("time"))->setTimestampValue(1420113600),
    ])
    ->inTable('GeoCheckins')
    ->build()
    ->execute();

if (!$response->isSuccess()) {
    echo $response->getMessage();
    exit;
}

# output row data
foreach ($response->getRow() as $index => $column) {
    switch ($column->getType()) {
        case Riak\TimeSeries\Cell::INT_TYPE:
            printf("Column %d: %s is an integer equal to %d\n", $index, $column->getName(), $column->getValue());
            break;
        case Riak\TimeSeries\Cell::DOUBLE_TYPE:
            printf("Column %d: %s is a double equal to %d\n", $index, $column->getName(), $column->getValue());
            break;
        case Riak\TimeSeries\Cell::BOOL_TYPE:
            printf("Column %d: %s is a boolean equal to %s\n", $index, $column->getName(), $column->getValue());
            break;
        case Riak\TimeSeries\Cell::TIMESTAMP_TYPE:
            printf("Column %d: %s is a timestamp equal to %d\n", $index, $column->getName(), $column->getValue());
            break;
        default:
            printf("Column %d: %s is a string equal to %s\n", $index, $column->getName(), $column->getValue());
            break;
    }
}

Query

Allows you to query a Riak TS table with the given query string.

$response = (new Command\Builder\TimeSeries\Query($riak))
    ->withQuery("select * from GeoCheckins where region = 'South Atlantic' and state = 'South Carolina' and (time > 1420113500 and time < 1420116000)")
    ->build()
    ->execute();

# output rows
foreach ($response->getResults() as $row_index => $row) {
    foreach ($row as $column_index => $column) {
        switch ($column->getType()) {
            case Riak\TimeSeries\Cell::INT_TYPE:
                printf("Column %d: %s is an integer equal to %d\n", $index, $column->getName(), $column->getValue());
                break;
            case Riak\TimeSeries\Cell::DOUBLE_TYPE:
                printf("Column %d: %s is a double equal to %d\n", $index, $column->getName(), $column->getValue());
                break;
            case Riak\TimeSeries\Cell::BOOL_TYPE:
                printf("Column %d: %s is a boolean equal to %s\n", $index, $column->getName(), $column->getValue());
                break;
            case Riak\TimeSeries\Cell::TIMESTAMP_TYPE:
                printf("Column %d: %s is a timestamp equal to %d\n", $index, $column->getName(), $column->getValue());
                break;
            default:
                printf("Column %d: %s is a string equal to %s\n", $index, $column->getName(), $column->getValue());
                break;
        }
    }
}

Store

Stores data in the Riak TS table.

# store a row
$response = (new Command\Builder\TimeSeries\StoreRows($riak))
    ->inTable('GeoCheckins')
    ->withRow([
        (new Cell("region"))->setValue("South Atlantic"),
        (new Cell("state"))->setValue("South Carolina"),
        (new Cell("time"))->setTimestampValue(1420113600),
        (new Cell("weather"))->setValue("hot"),
        (new Cell("temperature"))->setValue(23.5),
    ])
    ->build()
    ->execute();

if (!$response->isSuccess()) {
    echo $response->getMessage();
    exit;
}

# store rows
$response = (new Command\Builder\TimeSeries\StoreRows($riak))
    ->inTable('GeoCheckins')
    ->withRows([
        [
            (new Cell("region"))->setValue("South Atlantic"),
            (new Cell("state"))->setValue("South Carolina"),
            (new Cell("time"))->setTimestampValue(1420115400),
            (new Cell("weather"))->setValue("hot"),
            (new Cell("temperature"))->setValue(22.4),
        ],
        [
            (new Cell("region"))->setValue("South Atlantic"),
            (new Cell("state"))->setValue("South Carolina"),
            (new Cell("time"))->setTimestampValue(1420117200),
            (new Cell("weather"))->setValue("warm"),
            (new Cell("temperature"))->setValue(20.5),
        ],
