Why

I wanted to learn more about both, Cassandra Database and R language.

How

I took a couple of courses on Coursera about R language, watched some videos, and did some tutorials for Cassandra Database, and then decided to create the R language client for the Apache Cassandra database using

• LibUv
• Rcpp library
• DataStax CPP driver

Problems

The compilation of the library for Windows-based systems is not supported.

Results

• A developer preview of the library for Linux-based and macOS systems is available on GitHub.
