NoClassDefFoundError：spark-cassandra-connector中的org / apache / spark / sql / DataFrame

Question

I'm trying to upgrade spark-cassandra-connector from 1.4 to 1.5 .

Everything seems fine but when I run test cases then It stuck between the process and log some error message saying:

Exception in thread "dag-scheduler-event-loop" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/spark/sql/DataFrame

My pom file looks like:

Thank you in advance!!

Can anyone please help me with this ? If you need more info please let me know!!

Answer 1

Try to add dependency

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.spark</groupId>
    <artifactId>spark-sql_2.10</artifactId>
    <version>${spark.version}</version>
    <scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Also make sure that your version spark-cassandra-connector is compatible with version of Spark you're using. I had the same error message even with all proper dependencies when was trying to use older spark-cassandra-connector with newer Spark version.
