Spark-cassandra-connector: toArray does not work - scala

Question

I am using the spark-cassandra-connector with Scala and I want to read data from cassandra and display it via the method toArray.
However, I get an error message that it is not member of a class, but it is indicated in the API. Could somebody help me in finding my error?
Here are my files:
build.sbt:
name := "Simple_Project"
version := "1.0"
scalaVersion := "2.11.8"
assemblyMergeStrategy in assembly := {
case PathList("META-INF", xs # _*) => MergeStrategy.discard
case x => MergeStrategy.first
}

conf.set("spark.cassandra.connection.host", "127.0.0.1")
val sc = new SparkContext(conf)
val rdd_2 = sc.cassandraTable("test_2", "words")
rdd_2.toArray.foreach(println)
}
}
Functions for cqlsh:
CREATE KEYSPACE test_2 WITH REPLICATION = {'class': 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor': 1 };
CREATE TABLE test_2.words (word text PRIMARY KEY, count int);
INSERT INTO test_2.words (word, count) VALUES ('foo', 20);
INSERT INTO test_2.words (word, count) VALUES ('bar', 20);

Many thanks in advance,

Answer 1

CassandraTableScanRDD.toArray method has been deprecated and removed since 2.0.0 release of Spark Cassandra Connector. This method was there until 1.6.0 release. You can use collect method instead.

Answer 2

Unfortunately, the document Spark Cassandra Connector still uses toArray. Anyway, here is that will work
rdd_2.collect.foreach(println)
