Fetching Cassandra Table Rows using Spark - scala

Question

I am facing the issue in connecting to cassandra using spark Repl..
Scala version 2.11,spark vesrion 1.6,cassandra version 3.0. When entering into spark shell I am using:
spark-shell --jars spark-cassandra-connector-1.6.0-s_2.10.jar
I'm trying to connect to cassandra using the following steps
import com.datastax.spark.connector._
import org.apache.spark.SparkContext
import org.apache.spark.SparkConf
sc.stop
val conf = new parkConf(true)
.set("spark.cassandra.connection.host", "localhost")
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
val table = sc.cassandraTable("testtb", "words")
I'm getting the error when executing in the spark shell...

Answer 1

try adding the following command line option
spark-shell --packages datastax:spark-cassandra-connector:1.6.0-M1-s_2.10
this will work

Answer 2

This is a common problem when you mix-up Scala 2.10 and 2.11. If you have spark compiled with 2.11 you need to do get the 2.11 JARs (if they exist, otherwise move back to 2.10)
spark-shell --jars spark-cassandra-connector-1.6.0-s_2.11.jar
