Set Cassandra properties for spark-cassandra-connector

Question

How do I set the following properties for the spark-cassandra-connector version 2.0.7:

1. cassandra.pool.remote.coreConnectionsPerHost
2. cassandra.allowRemoteDcsForLocalConsistencyLevel

Essentially I want to set it up so that there should be 0 connected clients to my remote dc and there should also be 0 reads/writes. Everything should be local to the DC I'm are running in.

Does setting spark.cassandra.connection.local_dc to a local DC achieve the same effect?

Answer 1

It looks like this is the default behavior of the connector. I got my answer at https://github.com/datastax/spark-cassandra-connector/blob/master/doc/1_connecting.md#inter-datacenter-communication-is-forbidden-by-default
