+Use DSBULK to load, unload and count data on Aiven service for Cassandra®
+#########################################################################
+
+`DSBulk <https://docs.datastax.com/en/dsbulk/docs/reference/dsbulkCmd.html>`_ is a highly configurable tool used to load, unload and count data in Apache Cassandra®.
+It has configurable consistency levels for loading and unloading and offers the most accurate way to count records in Cassandra.
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+To install the latest release of DSBulk, download the ``.zip`` or ``.tar.gz`` file from the `DSBulk GitHub repository <https://github.com/datastax/dsbulk>`_.
+
+
+.. Tip::
+
+   You can read more about the DSBulk different use cases and manual pages in the `dedicated documentation <https://docs.datastax.com/en/dsbulk/docs/getStartedDsbulk.html>`_
+
+Variables
+---------
+
+These are the placeholders you will need to replace in the code sample:
+
+==================      =============================================================
+Variable                Description
+==================      =============================================================
+``PASSWORD``            Password of the ``avnadmin`` user
+``HOST``                Host name for the connection
+``PORT``                Port number to use for the Cassandra service
+``SSL_CERTFILE``        Path of the `CA Certificate` for the Cassandra service
+==================      =============================================================
+
+.. Tip::
+
+    All the above variables and the CA Certificate file can be found in the `Aiven Console <https://console.aiven.io/>`_, in the service detail page.
+
+Preparation of the environment 
+------------------------------
+
+In order for ``dsbulk`` to read the security certificate to connect to Aiven service for Cassandra, the certificate must be imported in a truststore.
+
+1. Download the certificate from the service overview page of your Aiven for Apache Cassandra service. Save the CA certificate 
+in a file called ``cassandra-certificate.pem`` in a directory on the linux system where ``dsbulk`` runs.
+
+2. Run this command line to create a truststore file and import the certificate in it::
+
+    keytool -import -v                \
+      -trustcacerts                   \ 
+      -alias CARoot                   \
+      -file cassandra-certificate.pem \
+      -keystore client.truststore
+
+   A truststore file called ``client.truststore`` is created in the directory where the ``keytool`` command has been launched.
+
+   The ``keytool`` command assumes the file ``cassandra-certificate.pem`` is in the same directory where you run ``keytool``. If that is not the case, provide a full path to ``cassandra-certificate.pem``.
+
+   During creation of the truststore, you need to set a password that is required to access the truststore and retrieve the certificate.
+
+3. The next step is to create a configuration file with the connection information.
+
+   By creating a configuration file, the ``dsbulk`` command line is more readable and it doesn't show passwords in clear text. If you don't create a configuration file, every option must be explicitly provided on the command line.
+
+4. Create a file that contains the connection configuration like the following::
+
+      datastax-java-driver {
+        advanced {
+          ssl-engine-factory {
+            keystore-password = "cassandra"
+            keystore-path = "/home/user1/client.truststore"
+            class = DefaultSslEngineFactory
+            truststore-password = "cassandra"
+            truststore-path = "/home/user1/client.truststore"
+          }
+          auth-provider {
+            username = avnadmin
+            password = AVNS_JHMJgrFwIa-uPd7BwEB
+          }
+        }
+      }
+
+   The DSBulk configuration file can contain many different blocks for different configurations. In the above example, it only the ``datastax-java-driver`` block is filled.
+   The ``ssl-engine-factory`` block contains the path of the truststore and the related password.
+
+   .. Tip::
+
+    The Cassandra documentation has both `full reference and templates of the application configuration file <https://github.com/datastax/dsbulk/blob/1.x/manual/application.template.conf>`_ and a `full reference of the driver configuration file <https://github.com/datastax/dsbulk/blob/1.x/manual/driver.template.conf>`_.
+
+
+Run a ``dsbulk`` command to count records in a Cassandra table
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Once the configuration file is created, you can run the ``dsbulk``. 
+
+1. Navigate to the `bin` subdirectory of the downloaded ``dsbulk`` package
+
+2. Run the following command::
+
+    ./dsbulk count                      \
+      -f /full/path/to/conf.file        \
+      -k baselines                      \
+      -t keyvalue                       \
+      -h HOST                           \
+      -port PORT                        \
+      --log.verbosity 2
+
+   where:
+
+   * ``baselines`` and ``keyvalue`` are the names of the example keyspace and table in the Cassandra database.
+   * ``log.verbosity`` controls the amount of logging that is sent at standard output when ``dsbulk`` runs. ``verbosity=2`` is used only to troubleshoot problems. To reduce verbosity, reduce the number to 1 or remove the option altogether.
+   * ``-f`` specifies the path to the configuration file
+   * ``-h`` and ``-p`` are the hostname and port number to connect to Cassandra.
+
+
+Extract data from a Cassandra table in CSV format
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+To extract the data from a table, you can use the following command::
+
+   ./dsbulk unload        \
+    -f ../conf.file       \
+    -k baselines          \
+    -t keyvalue           \
+    -h HOST               \
+    -port PORT
+
+This command will extract all records from the table and output in a CSV format. 
+
+.. Tip::
+
+  In order to download the data in a file, the output can be redirected to a file.
+
+Load data into a Cassandra table from a CSV file
+------------------------------------------------
+
+To load data into a Cassandra table, the command line is very similar to the previous command::
+
+   ./dsbulk load            \
+    -f ../conf.file         \
+    -k baselines            \
+    -t keyvalue             \
+    -h HOST                 \ 
+    -port PORT              \
+    -url data.csv
+
+where the file ``data.csv`` is the file that contains the data to load into Cassandra.
