17. ScyllaDB Data Store

Note

GeoMesa currently supports ScyllaDB version 2025.1.4.

The GeoMesa ScyllaDB Data Store is an implementation of the GeoTools DataStore interface that is backed by ScyllaDB. It is found in the geomesa-cassandra directory of the GeoMesa source distribution, as ScyllaDB is a high-performance, drop-in replacement for Apache Cassandra.

ScyllaDB offers superior performance and scalability compared to Cassandra, while maintaining full compatibility with the Cassandra Query Language (CQL) and wire protocol. This means GeoMesa can use ScyllaDB without any code changes, simply by connecting to a ScyllaDB cluster instead of Cassandra.
