How can I configure Spark to connect to Cassandra in HDP 2.4?

https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/32957/how-can-i-install-cassandra-in-hdp-24-sandbox-virt...

I installed successfully Cassandra in hdp24, now I like to use pyspark to transform and save my Data back to Cassandra like shown here:

https://docs.datastax.com/en/datastax_enterprise/4.6/datastax_enterprise/spark/sparkPySpark.html

I could Create the Keyspace, Create the Tables and Insert the data.

Now I need the Spark Context with the connection settings to Cassandra..Someone got an Idea how I can do this in the Sandbox? (In the term of configuring Spark to be able to connect to Cassandra)

Hello Lukas:

I'm sorry to refer you to StackOverflow, but it appears that this is how you do it:

StackOverflow Connect to Cassandra over JDBC

JDBC Connection string sytax:

jdbc:cassandra://host1--host2--host3:9160/keyspace1?primarydc=DC1&backupdc=DC2&consistency=QUORUM"

Or directly via Java code:

String serverIP = "127.0.0.1";
String keyspace = "system";

Cluster cluster = Cluster.builder()
.addContactPoints(serverIP)
.build();

Session session = cluster.connect(keyspace);

I am new to JDBC Connectors, so where do I put the .jar file ? What are the configuration steps I need to do to get the JDBC connector running?

(Maven? in Cassandra POM or in Spark?)

The instructions at https://docs.datastax.com/en/datastax_enterprise/4.6/datastax_enterprise/spark/sparkPySpark.html are for dse pyspark. You can either install that version or try https://github.com/TargetHolding/pyspark-cassandra or https://github.com/Parsely/pyspark-cassandra
