Cassandra datasource is used to set up a connection to a Cassandra storage. In WSO2 DAS, you can create a HBase datasource by specifying the datasource configuration in the <DAS_HOME>/repository/conf/datasources/ analytics-datasources.xml file as follows.
<datasource>
<name>WSO2_ANALYTICS_DS_CASSANDRA</name>
<description>The Cassandra datasource used for analytics</description>
<definition type="CASSANDRA">
