Cannot persist data in Cassandra using Kundera - cassandra

Question

I tried to connect to cassadra and perform CRUD operation from this link. But after executing the code got the below exception.Can't figure out the problem.
SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

However, I can perform crud operation from cqlsh.
Below is my persistence.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0"

<property name="kundera.nodes" value="localhost" />
<property name="kundera.port" value="9042" />
<property name="kundera.username" value="cassandra" />
<property name="kundera.passsword" value="cassandra" />
<property name="kundera.keyspace" value="Kundera" />
<property name="kundera.dialect" value="cassandra" />

<property name="kundera.cache.config.resource" value="/ehcache-test.xml" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
I tried changing kundera.port to 9160. But got the same exception.

Answer 1

Is your Cassandra server enabled for authentication ? Which version of kundera-cassandra are you using ?
Also, can you please update your persistence.xml and try with :
<persistence-unit name="kundera">
<provider>com.impetus.kundera.KunderaPersistence</provider>
<class>kundera.Catalog</class>
<properties>
<property name="kundera.nodes" value="localhost" />
<property name="kundera.port" value="9160" />
<property name="kundera.username" value="cassandra" />
<property name="kundera.passsword" value="cassandra" />
<property name="kundera.keyspace" value="Kundera" />
<property name="kundera.dialect" value="cassandra" />
<property name="kundera.client.lookup.class"
value="com.impetus.client.cassandra.thrift.ThriftClientFactory" />
</properties>
</persistence-unit>

Answer 2

9042 port is for cql3 binary protocol enabled clients but not the thrift clients. Change,
<property name="kundera.client.lookup.class"
value="com.impetus.client.cassandra.pelops.PelopsClientFactory" />
TO
<property name="kundera.client.lookup.class"
value="com.impetus.kundera.client.cassandra.dsdriver.DSClientFactory" />
it should work for you.
