"""# Cassandra charm library.

## Overview

This document explains how to integrate with the Cassandra charm for the
purposes of consuming a cassandra database. It also explains how alternative
implementations of the Cassandra charm may maintain the same interface and be
compatible with all currently integrated charms. Finally this document is the
authoritative reference on the structure of relation data that is shared
between Cassandra charms and any other charm that intends to use the database.

## Consumer Library Usage

Charms that would like to use a Cassandra database must use the `CassandraConsumer`
object from the charm library. Using the `CassandraConsumer` object requires
instantiating it, typically in the constructor of your charm. The `CassandraConsumer`
constructor requires the name of the relation over which a database will be used.
This relation must use the `cassandra` interface.

    from charms.cassandra_k8s.v0.cassandra import CassandraConsumer

    def __init__(self, *args):
        super().__init__(*args)
        ...
        self.cassandra_consumer = CassandraConsumer(
            self, "monitoring"}
        )
        ...

The `address`, `port`, and `credentials` methods of the
`CassandraConsumer` object can all be called to get the relevant connection
information from the relation data.

## Provider Library Usage

The `CassandraProvider` object may be used by Cassandra charms to manage
relations with their clients. For this purpose a Cassandra charm needs to do
three things

1. Instantiate the `CassandraProvider` object providing it with the required
parameters:

  - Name of the relation that the Cassandra charm uses to interact with
    clients.  This relation must conform to the `cql` interface.

  For example a Cassandra charm may instantiate the `CassandraProvider` in its
  constructor as follows

    from charms.cassandra_k8s.v0.cassandra import CassandraProvider

    def __init__(self, *args):
        super().__init__(*args)
        ...
        self.prometheus_provider = CassandraProvider(
                self, "database"
            )
        ...

2. A Cassandra charm must set the address, port, and credentials when the
information becomes available. For example

    ...
    self.cassandra_provider.update_port("database", port)
    self.cassandra_provider.update_address("database", address)
    self.cassandra_provider.set_credentials(rel_id, [username, password])
    ...
