SoapUI JDBC connection with Apache Cassandra

Question

Does anyone know how to connect to cassandra using JDBC connection string in SoapUI.

I have tried from my side, but not able to connect. Based on the research I came

Answer 1

These days Thrift is dead in terms of a Cassandra interface, and you need to be using the native CQL protocol to be doing anything useful. Fortunately there is a JDBC wrapper available if that's your only integration option, and the native driver's concepts will map a lot better to JDBC than the old Thrift protocol.

JDBC driver class : com.github.adejanovski.cassandra.jdbc.CassandraDriver

JDBC URL : jdbc:cassandra://host1--host2--host3:9042/keyspace

Where 9042 is the default native transport port, configurable via cassandra.yaml.

There does also appear to be an updated version of the Thrift-based JDBC driver for use with Cassandra 3.x, but it is no longer supported by Apache or the Cassandra developers.

As the other answers here have been sharing fixed lists of (sometimes spurious) dependencies I thought I'd better mention proper dependency management, as a lot of things won't work if the different jar versions don't all match up (in particular, 2.x to 3.x is a breaking change for both Cassandra itself and cassandra-driver-core).

The wrapper project mentioned above contains a pom.xml that specifies all the dependencies and is published to Maven Central. You should be able to use any number of dependency-management tools -- including maven, ivy or grape -- to resolve and download all the jars you will need for a particular driver version.

Alternatively, it appears the developer provides a single jar containing all the necessary dependencies, but this will be tied to a specific driver version.
