Connect Cassandra rules support interactions between the Pega 7 Platform and Apache Cassandra data stores by performing reading and writing operations on a single row identified by the unique row ID.

Connect Cassandra rules are available in applications that have access to the functionality provided by the Pega-BigData ruleset.

Before you can connect to Apache Cassandra data store, upload the Cassandra client jars into the application container with the Pega 7 Platform. You need different jars for particular versions of Apache Cassandra data store, so the jars are not in the Pega 7 Platform database and they need to be uploaded.
