Error while connecting to Cassandra using Java Driver for Apache Cassandra 1.0 from com.example.cassandra

Question

While connecting to Cassandra client using java driver for Cannsandra by DataStax, it is throwing following error..

Exception in thread \"main\" com.datastax

Answer 1

Just posting this for people who might have the same problem as I did, when I got that error message. Turned out my complex dependency tree brought about an old version of com.google.collections, which broke the CQL driver. Removing this dependency and relying entirely on guava solved my problem.
