Anaconda Enterprise enables you to connect to an Apache Cassandra NoSQL database to access data in its wide column store.
Before you can do so, however, you’ll need to import the libraries that are required to connect to the Cassandra cluster.
NOTE: Currently the cassandra-driver

file. For more information, see Developing a project.
After you’ve installed the correct driver, you can then use code such as this to access the cluster from within a notebook session:
See Storing secrets for information about adding credentials to the platform, to make them available in your projects. Any secrets you add will be available across all sessions and deployments associated with your user account.
