Introducing DataStax Bulk Loader

DataStax has made its Bulk Loader tool freely available to Open Source Cassandra users, aiming to make loading and unloading data faster and easier. The DataStax Bulk Loader (DSBulk) is a command-line utility for Linux and Windows environments that supports all DSE Advanced Security features. It can load files up to 4x faster than cqlsh's COPY command and is designed to handle bulk loading and unloading use cases. DSBulk does not create new tables or perform data transformations but supports input data in JSON or delimited format from a single file or directory of files. It can also set time-to-live on the data being inserted, add the current timestamp as a column, and specify CQL for insertion. DSBulk is available as a standalone download or as part of DataStax Enterprise and DataStax Basic.
