The spark-cassandra-connector-embedded artifact can be used as a test
or prototype dependency to spin up embedded servers for testing ideas,
quickly learning, integration, etc.
Pulling this dependency in allows you to:
- Run Integration Tests (IT) tests with an embedded Cassandra instance
- If your sbt project is configured to run IT configs
- Easily write and run a Spark Streaming app using
- Apache Kafka streams (including an embedded Zookeeper), all with no Ops work involved
- And of course Cassandra but you currently need to spin up a local instance: Download Cassandra latest, open the tar, and run
sudo ./apache-cassandra-*/bin/cassandra
Simply add this to your SBT build, or in the appropriate format for a Maven build:
"com.datastax.spark" %% "spark-cassandra-connector-embedded" % {latest.version}
