Cassandra 3.11.1 GeoSpatial support

I'm trying to use GeoSpatial example from Cassandra documentation: https://docs.datastax.com/en/dse/6.7/cql/cql/cql_using/search_index/queriesGeoSpatial.html

CREATE TABLE test ( id text PRIMARY KEY,  point 'PointType',  linestring 'LineStringType');

I'm getting error:

SyntaxException: Error setting type PointType: Unable to find abstract-type class 'org.apache.cassandra.db.marshal.PointType'

I'm using stack: [cqlsh 5.0.1 | Cassandra 3.11.1 | CQL spec 3.4.4 | Native protocol v4]

How to solve it?

The documentation you are looking at is for DSE 6.7 which is a commercial product has extended functionality over Cassandra 3.11.1. Cassandra 3.11.1 does not support the PointType.

Depending on what you are trying to do you, there are a number of open source projects that support geospatial extensions for Cassandra:

GeoMesa

Elassandra
