My question is simple actually. Can we read/write data with Spark from/to Cassandra database without using the Spark-Cassandra-Connector? Is there also something else we could use? If so, is there any performance comparison between them?

CodePudding user response：

The Spark Cassandra connector from DataStax is the only one I'm aware of.

There may be other proprietary connectors/drivers (likely paid versions) but I'm not familiar with them because all the enterprises I've worked with use the spark-cassandra-connector. Cheers!
