Hi Todd, We are using Apache C* 2.1.3, not DSE. We got Tableau to work directly with C* using the ODBC driver, but now would like to add Spark SQL to the mix. I haven’t been able to find any documentation for how to make this combination work.
We are using the Spark-Cassandra-Connector in our applications, but haven’t been able to figure out how to get the Spark SQL Thrift Server to use it and connect to C*. That is the missing piece. Once we solve that piece of the puzzle then Tableau should be able to see the tables in C*. Hi Pawan, Tableau + C* is pretty straight forward, especially if you are using DSE. Create a new DSN in Tableau using the ODBC driver that comes with DSE. Once you connect, Tableau allows to use C* keyspace as schema and column families as tables.

I would be interested in this solution. I am using DSE for cassandra. Would you provide me with info on connecting with DSE either through Tableau or zeppelin. The goal here is query cassandra through spark sql so that I could perform joins and groupby on my queries. Are you able to perform spark sql queries with tableau?

Are you using DSE or the stock Apache Cassandra version? I have connected it with DSE, but have not attempted it with the standard Apache Cassandra version. FWIW, http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/datastax-odbc-cql-connector-apache-cassandra-datastax-enterprise, provides an ODBC driver tor accessing C* from Tableau. Granted it does not provide all the goodness of Spark. Are you attempting to leverage the spark-cassandra-connector for this?
