--------------------------------------
Summary: Upgrade Cassandra Components to Datastax 4 Driver
Key: NIFI-9770
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9770
Project: Apache NiFi
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Extensions
Reporter: David Handermann
The Processors and Controller Services in the {{nifi-cassandra-bundle}}
leverage the Datastax Driver version 3.10.2, which includes a transitive
dependency on Google Guava 19.0. Older versions of Google Guava have several
associated vulnerabilities, which do not appear to impact the Datastax Driver
directly. In order to upgrade to a more recent version of Google Guava,
however, it is necessary to upgrade to a recent version 4 release of the
Datastax Driver. Datastax Driver 4.14.0 depends on Google Guava 25.0.
The Datastax Driver version 4 supports access to Cassandra 2.1 and above, but
upgrading the driver from version 3 to version 4 requires a number of changes.
Several of the client configuration properties, accessible through NiFi
component properties, must be provided through a different approach than the
current driver configuration strategy. The Datastax Driver Upgrade Guide
provides a summary of the relevant driver changes:
