Bring Your Own Spark

BYOS (Bring Your Own Spark) is a feature of DSE Analytics that allows connecting from external Apache Spark™ systems to DataStax Enterprise with minimal configuration efforts. It extends the DataStax Spark Cassandra Connector with DSE security features such as Kerberos and SSL authentication, and includes drivers for accessing DSE Cassandra File System (CFS) and DSE File System (DSEFS). BYOS supports Hadoop 2.x HDFS file systems and can be used in conjunction with Spark Kerberos authentication. The feature is designed to work seamlessly with DataStax Enterprise, allowing users to leverage the power of Apache Spark while maintaining DSE's security features.
