How to use Map<String,Long> for datastax - hashmap

Question

I am using datastax and want to retrieve Map from Cassandra
Cassandra has map with String,bigint , bigint maps to long in Java but I cannot have Map with primitive types. So how to use Map ?
Below is my table creation script
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS dealsstorea.deals1(
otla text,
dtla text ,
**types Map < text,bigint >**,
travelers bigint,
pkgRatePlanCode text,
pkgRoomTypeCode text,
numRooms bigint,
PRIMARY KEY ((...),
..));

Answer 1

If I understand your question correctly, you are using the Java driver to Select from a CQL table that has a column of type Map and you want to load it into a Java object.
If that is the case use a Java TreeMap
Map<String, Long> myMap = new TreeMap<String, Long>();
Java types String and Long map to CQL text and bigint respectively.

Below code i used to convert the map data type into string.
--------Code-----------------------
public static String getMaptoSring (DataType dataType, Row row, String columnName) throws ClassNotFoundException
{
String mapstr = "";
if(row.getColumnDefinitions().getType(columnName).getName().name().equalsIgnoreCase("map"))
{
Map<?, ?> map = row.getMap(columnName, Class.forName("java.lang.String"), Class.forName("java.lang.String"));
Set<?> set = map.keySet();
Iterator setIterator = set.iterator();
while(setIterator.hasNext()){
Object key = setIterator.next();
String value = map.get(key).toString();
if(mapstr =="" )
mapstr="{"+key.toString()+":"+value;
else
mapstr = mapstr+","+key.toString()+":"+value;
}
mapstr = mapstr+"}";
//System.out.println("Map Key and value are as following: Key :: "+ key.toString() + ", value :: "+ value);
}
return mapstr;
}
