If you don’t need to use Hadoop then try the SSTableSimpleWriter and sstableloader , this post is a little old but still relevant http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/bulk-loading
Otherwise AFAIK BulkOutputFormat is what you want from hadoop http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.1/cluster_architecture/hadoop_integration Cheers ----------------- Aaron Morton New Zealand @aaronmorton Co-Founder & Principal Consultant Apache Cassandra Consulting http://www.thelastpickle.com On 12/12/2013, at 11:27 am, varun allampalli <vshoori.off...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > I want to bulk insert data into cassandra.
