The Cassandra connector is a Palantir-provided driver for Cassandra.
To create a new Cassandra source, follow the standard setup flow for Palantir-provided drivers, then use the sections below for Cassandra-specific configuration and networking. For the complete property reference, see the official Cassandra driver documentation ↗.
The Cassandra connector is in the beta phase of development and may not be available on your enrollment. Functionality may change during active development.

The table below lists the domains that the source must be able to access to run.
For each domain, add a corresponding egress policy. If the source is hosted on-premises and not directly reachable from Foundry, use an agent proxy egress policy instead. The agent host itself must also be able to reach the listed domains. See using an agent as a proxy for details.
| Domain | Required |
|---|---|
| <Server>:<Port> | If UseSSH=FALSE (default), Server and Port connection properties (default: localhost:9042) |
| <LDAPServer>:<LDAPPort> | If AuthScheme=LDAP (default Port=389) |
| <SSHServer>:<SSHPort> | If UseSSH=TRUE (default Port=22) |
| <KerberosKDC>:88 | If AuthScheme=Kerberos |
| <KerberosServiceKDC>:88 | If AuthScheme=Kerberos and Kerberos topology uses multiple realms |
