             Summary: Add a connector for streaming data into Cassandra
                 Key: FLINK-3311
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-3311
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Streaming Connectors
            Reporter: Robert Metzger
            Assignee: Chesnay Schepler


We had users in the past asking for a Flink+Cassandra integration.

It seems that there is a well-developed java client for connecting into Cassandra: https://github.com/datastax/java-driver (ASL 2.0)

There are also tutorials out there on how to start a local cassandra instance (for the tests): http://prettyprint.me/prettyprint.me/2010/02/14/running-cassandra-as-an-embedded-service/index.html

For the data types, I think we should support TupleX types, and map standard java types to the respective cassandra types.
In addition, it seems that there is a object mapper from datastax to store POJOs in Cassandra (there are annotations for defining the primary key and types)
