Hi,I've seen a few articles where they CqlStorageHandler to create hive tables referencing Cassandra data using the thriftserver. Is there a secret to getting this to work? I've basically got Spark built with Hive, and a Cassandra cluster. Is there a way to get the hive server to talk to Cassandra? I've seen Calliope from Tuplejump, and it looks good, but was wondering if there's a more direct approach. The version updates of various things mean that if I could go direct even with a bit of hassle, I'd prefer that. I've also managed to connect the Simba ODBC driver for Spark. Is there are way to get ODBC clients to use that to get to Cassandra data? Would I need to build a Spark application and pull in Cassandra data (or define RDDs) for ODBC clients to make use of it? I can't really use the Simba ODBC connector for Cassandra as it's missing a few things currently (like understanding UDTs + collection columns). What I'm really after is somehow letting Tableau + Excel users access to Cassandra data. I'd love to be able to use DataStax Enterprise, but as of now, the client is firmly in Apache Cassandra + Apache Spark territory. Thanks,Ashic.
