How to autogenerate timestamp with Spark Cassandra connector

[Shing Hing Man]

Hi,

I am trying to insert into the following column family using Spark Cassandra 
connector. 


CREATE TABLE myks.mycf (
id bigint,
msg text,
type text,
ts, timestamp,
primary key (id, msg)
) 
Is there a way to to have the ts field automatically generate : 
// dataRdd is of Type RDD[(Int,String,String)]. Would like the ts field 
automatically filled in with value from now(). 
dataRdd.saveToCassandra(keySpace, cf, SomeColumns("id", "msg", "type"))

Do I need to implement my own RowWriterFactor ? 

Thanks in advance for any  assistance !
