Query parameters

data_centersstring

For convenience, use this parameter to provision a cluster by providing a data center specification. Accepts a comma separated list of DC configurations. i.e. "3,4,5" sets up 3 data centers with 3, 4, and 5 nodes respectively.

Note: If this is provided the request body is ignored.

cassandra_versionstring

The Cassandra version of this Cluster. This only applies if data_centers is specified.

dse_versionstring

The DSE version of this Cluster. This only applies if data_centers is specified.

namestring

The name to give this Cluster. This only applies if data_centers is specified.

activity_logboolean

Whether or not to enable activity logging of queries. By default falls back to global behavior (which itself defaults to true).

num_tokensunknown

The number of tokens (virtual nodes) for each node. By default is 1.
