I have read in a few places that Spark can interact directly with Cassandra now, so I decided to download it and have a play – I am happy to run it in standalone cluster mode initially. When I go to download it (http://spark.apache.org/downloads.html) I see a bunch of pre-built versions for Hadoop and MapR, but no mention of Cassandra – if I am running it in standalone cluster mode, does it matter which pre-built package I download? Would all of them work? Or do I have to build it myself from source with some special config for Cassandra? Thanks! Matt
