Apache Cassandra
Introduction
The Apache Cassandra connector lets you connect to a Cassandra-compatible cluster and validate credentials. This connector is currently in development and does not yet support loading data.
Setup
Before configuring the connector, make sure you have:
- A reachable Cassandra endpoint (host/IP and port).
- A Cassandra user with permission to connect and run a simple query against system tables (used for connection validation).
Authentication
This connector authenticates using username and password.
During credential validation, the connector:
- Establishes a session to the configured node.
- Runs
SELECT release_version FROM system.localto confirm connectivity and permissions.
Configuration
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
endpoint | string | Yes | Cassandra node address in host:port format (for example, cassandra.example.com:9042). |
username | string | Yes | Cassandra username. |
password | string | Yes | Cassandra password. |
Streams
This connector does not currently expose any streams.
Limitations
- Destination loading is not yet supported. Attempts to run a load will fail with an “in development” error.
- Only basic credential validation is currently implemented.
