cassandra with scala

Question

Does anyone have advice on using cassandra with scala? There is no native scala-cassandra client supporting cassandra version 8.0+, so I have to use hector, and it seems to work OK but not to be concise. Do you have any attempts, recommendations or any wrapper code,.. etc for hector ?

Answer 1

Two popular client-drivers are Quill and Phantom. They both use Datastax underneath. I did a load test profiling of a simple json GET/POST using play for both. You can see the side-by-side comparisons of results in the projects under root/loadtest/phantom|quill/results.

Might help you better to choose a driver.
