# Cassandra Storage Backend
The Cassandra storage backend is used to persist Vault's data in an [Apache
Cassandra][cassandra] cluster.
- **No High Availability** the Cassandra storage backend does not support high
availability.
- **Community Supported** the Cassandra storage backend is supported by the
community. While it has undergone review by HashiCorp employees, they may not
be as knowledgeable about the technology. If you encounter problems with it,
you may be referred to the original author.
```hcl
storage "cassandra" {
hosts = "localhost"
consistency = "LOCAL_QUORUM"
protocol_version = 3
}
```
The Cassandra storage backend does not automatically create the keyspace and
table. This sample configuration can be used as a guide, but you will want to
ensure the keyspace [replication options][replication-options]
are appropriate for your cluster:
```cql
CREATE KEYSPACE "vault" WITH REPLICATION = {
'class': 'SimpleStrategy',
'replication_factor': 1
};
CREATE TABLE "vault"."entries" (
bucket text,
key text,
value blob,
PRIMARY KEY (bucket, key)
) WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (key ASC);
```
## `cassandra` Parameters
- `hosts` `(string: "127.0.0.1")`  Comma-separated list of Cassandra hosts to
connect to.
- `keyspace` `(string: "vault")` Cassandra keyspace to use.
- `table` `(string: "entries")`  Table within the `keyspace` in which to store
data.
- `consistency` `(string: "LOCAL_QUORUM")` Consistency level to use when
reading/writing data. If set, must be one of `"ANY"`, `"ONE"`, `"TWO"`,
`"THREE"`, `"QUORUM"`, `"ALL"`, `"LOCAL_QUORUM"`, `"EACH_QUORUM"`, or
`"LOCAL_ONE"`.
- `protocol_version` `(int: 2)` Cassandra protocol version to use.
- `username` `(string: "")` Username to use when authenticating with the
Cassandra hosts.
- `password` `(string: "")` Password to use when authenticating with the
Cassandra hosts.
- `connection_timeout` `(int: 0)` - A timeout in seconds to wait until a
connection is established with the Cassandra hosts.
- `tls` `(int: 0)` If `1`, indicates the connection with the Cassandra hosts
should use TLS.
- `pem_bundle_file` `(string: "")` - Specifies a file containing a
certificate and private key; a certificate, private key, and issuing CA
certificate; or just a CA certificate.
- `pem_json_file` `(string: "")` - Specifies a JSON file containing a certificate
and private key; a certificate, private key, and issuing CA certificate;
or just a CA certificate.
- `tls_skip_verify` `(int: 0)` - If `1`, then TLS host verification
will be disabled for Cassandra. Defaults to `0`.
- `tls_min_version` `(string: "tls12")` - Minimum TLS version to use. Accepted
values are `tls10`, `tls11`, `tls12` or `tls13`. Defaults to `tls12`.
