-This is a Spark/Cassandra demo using the open-source **[Spark Cassandra Connector]**
-
-There are 2 packages with 2 distinct demos

-* _us.unemployment.demo_
-<ul>
-    <li> Ingestion
-        <ol>
-            <li> **FromCSVToCassandra**: read US employment data from CSV file into Cassandra</li>
-            <li> **FromCSVCaseClassToCassandra**: read US employment data from CSV file, create case class and insert into Cassandra</li>
-        </ol>
-    </li>
-    <li> Read
-        <ol>
-            <li> **FromCassandraToRow**: read US employment data from Cassandra into **CassandraRow** low-level object</li>
-            <li> **FromCassandraToCaseClass**: read US employment data from Cassandra into custom Scala case class, leveraging the built-in object mapper</li>
-        </ol>
-    </li>        
-</ul>
-
-* _weather.data.demo_
-<ul>
-    <li> Data preparation
-        <ol>
-            <li> Go to the folder main/data</li>
-            <li> Execute _$CASSANDRA_HOME/bin/cqlsh -f weather_data_schema.cql_ from this folder. It should create the keyspace **spark_demo** and some tables </li>
-            <li> Download the _Weather_Raw_Data_2014.csv.gz_ from **[here]** </li>
-            <li> Unzip it somewhere on your disk </li>

-    </li>
-    <li> Ingestion
-        <ol>
-            <li> **WeatherDataIntoCassandra**: read all the _Weather_Raw_Data_2014.csv_ file (30.10<sup>6</sup> lines) and insert the data into Cassandra. 
-            Please do not forget set the path to this file by changing the **WeatherDataIntoCassandra.WEATHER_2014_CSV** value</li>
-        </ol>
-        This step should take a while since there are 30.10<sup>6</sup> lines to be inserted into Cassandra
-    </li>
-    <li> Read
-        <ol>
-            <li> **WeatherDataFromCassandra**: read all raw weather data plus all weather stations details, 
-            filter the data by French station and take data only between March and June 2014. 
-            Then compute average on temperature and pressure</li>
