Is it possible to import data from Cassandra into Apache Solr?
I am currently importing data from MySQL into Apache Solr using Solr's dataimporthandler. Is it possible to use Cassandra in place of MySQL?
Update 1:
I tried to connect to Cassandra from a simple Java program using the JDBC driver given here (https://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/cassandra-jdbc/). My idea was, if the java code works, Solr should also be to import from Cassandra. But it didn't work and I got the following error:
