I want to do some analytical queries and some range queries as well on the time series data stored in Cassandra. For tgis, I came across Apache Spark which supports all these stuffs. May I know any good tutorial/resources on how can I integrate apache spark with Cassandra and make queries ?

I am well familiar with Java/J2EE, SQL and CQL stuffs but not with scala.will it be good to learn scala for this poc ? I am using Cassandra 2.2.

Have you tried google? I'm guessing academy.datastax.com/demos/… would be worth reading. As for language, Spark has a Java API, so you do not need to learn Scala for this. That said, I think you will find that most of the Spark community use Scala, and it will thus probably be easier to find tutorials and questions/answers in Scala. Personally, I think you should learn Scala simply because it's an awesome language :) – Glennie Helles Sindholt

Before reading theory, spend time in understanding the architecture.

Check good videos in Youtube

Once you understand architecture, get familiar with simple theory at Tutorials Point Cassandra,Tutorials Point Spark ,Apache Spark and Apache Cassandra

Then you can go through cassandra datastax tutorial to learn concepts in depth and proceed with integration of spark and cassandra

Here you go:

You could have googled it. Anyways the tutorial contains a very good explanation of spark and shows how spark work with cassandra.

Hope you learn what you are looking for. :)
