How to set Consistency Level in Spring Data Cassandra XML config

Question

I am using Spring-Data-Cassandra 1.2.2. I am using XML config as below. I read that the default ConsistencyLevel is ONE, I want to set it to QUORUM. How do I configure it in the XML? I can upgrade my Spring-Data-Cassandra version if required.

<?xml version='1.0'?>

Seems JavaConfig is the only solution. Upgrading from 1.2.2 to 1.5 was proving to be a bit complicated cos of other spring-data(mongo & JPA) dependencies in my proj. So I used the following config in 1.2.2 version: com.datastax.driver.core.Cluster.builder().withQueryOptions(‌​new QueryOptions().setConsistencyLevel(ConsistencyLevel.QUORUM))
