Can I use the PutCassandraQL NiFi processor to insert data into Cassandra 3.5 or higher?

[#1]

I have successfully used the PutCassandraQL NiFi processor to insert data into Cassandra 2.2. It works perfectly.

However I'm not able to use the PutCassandraQL NiFi processor to insert data into Cassandra 3.5.

Is there a solution for using NiFi 1.6.1 or HDF to insert data into Cassandra 3.5, or a workaround?

Are there any plans for upgrading the NiFi code to support Cassandra 3.5.

[#2 · Accepted solution]

There is no workaround, but the Cassandra 3.x driver claims to be backwards-compatible, so NiFi could be upgraded to use the Cassandra 3.x driver. Do you mind filing a Jira case for this at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI ? Thanks!

So as not to make more work for you, I took the liberty of creating the Jira case: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-1998

And doing the upgrade: https://github.com/apache/nifi/pull/521

hi @chris grant would you like to explain the process how you passed query to putcassandraQL processor. I have managed to use QueryCassandra processor and succesfully retrieve data from cassandra. Plz let me know the steps you followed thank you 🙂
