Thanks, Cheng. As an FYI for others trying to integrate Spark SQL JDBC server with Cassandra - I ended up using CalliopeServer2, which extends the Thrift Server and it was really straightforward.

It would be great be if you could share how you got it working? For example, what config changes have to be done in hive-site.xml, what additional jars are required, etc.? I have a Spark app that can programmatically query data from Cassandra using Spark SQL and Spark-Cassandra-Connector. No problem there, but I couldn't find any documentation for using the Thrift JDBC server for querying data from Cassandra. Thanks, Mohammed
