title: Can Spark nodes connect to Cassandra nodes hosted in a different server using Spark-Cassandra Connector
body: <p>The Spark-Cassandra connector references that I went through use 127.0.0.1, so wondering if it is possible for Spark to connect to Cassandra node hosted in different servers.</p>
  
  <p>a. If possible, are there any extra steps needed to make the connection, than hosted in the same physical server</p>
  
  <p>b. If it is not possible, how else I could connect Spark with Cassandra.</p>
