Hey I am new to Cassandra and I am friendly with Spring jdbc-template.
Can anyone please explain difference between both of them? Also can you suggest which one is good to use ?
thanks.

spring-data-cassandra uses datastax's java-driver, so the decision to be made is really whether or not you need the functionality of spring-data.
Some features from spring data that may be useful for you (documented here):
- spring xml configuration for configuring your Cluster instance (especially useful if you are already using spring).
- object mapping component.
The java-driver also has a mapping component as well that is worth exploring.
In my opinion if you are already using spring, it is worth looking into spring-data-cassandra. Otherwise, it would be good to start off with just the datastax java-driver.
