The spark-cassandra-connector-embedded Artifact

The spark-cassandra-connector-embedded artifact can be used as a test or prototype dependency to spin up embedded servers for testing ideas, quickly learning, integration, etc. Pulling this dependency in allows you to do

• Integration Tests (IT) tests with an embedded Cassandra instance
  • if your sbt project is configured to run IT configs
• Easily write and run a Spark Streaming app using
  • Apache Kafka streams (including an embedded Zookeeper), all with no Ops work involved
  • Twitter streams (needs the 4 auth credentials required by twitter)
  • And of course Cassandra but you currently need to sping up a local instance: Download Cassandra latest, open the tar, and run sudo ./apache-cassandra-2.1.0/bin/cassandra
