spark SQL thriftserver over ignite and cassandra

[vincent gromakowski]

Hi,
I am evaluating the possibility to use Spark SQL (and its scalability) over
an Ignite cache with Cassandra persistent store to increase read workloads
like OLAP style analytics.
Is there any way to configure Spark thriftserver to load an external table
in Ignite like we can do in Cassandra ?
Here is an example of config for spark backed by cassandra

CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE MyHiveTable
        ( id int, data string )
        STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.cassandra.cql.CqlStorageHandler'
        TBLPROPERTIES ("cassandra.host" = "x.x.x.x", "cassandra.ks.name" =
"test" ,
          "cassandra.cf.name" = "mytable" ,
          "cassandra.ks.repfactor" = "1" ,
          "cassandra.ks.strategy" =
            "org.apache.cassandra.locator.SimpleStrategy" );
