Solution

CassandraClusterFactoryBean was removed in 2019 with the migration to Cassandra driver 4. All details can be found in the original pull request on GitHub: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-cassandra/pull/167

Breaking changes:

Removal of types (without replacement):

• […]
• CassandraCqlClusterFactoryBean
• […]

Configuration summary

Driver 4 merges Cluster and Session objects into a single CqlSession object, therefore all Cluster-related API was removed. The Configuration was revised in large parts by removing most configuration items that were moved into DriverConfigLoader that is mostly file-based. This means that SocketOptions, AddressTranslator and many more options are configured now through other means.

Further information:

• https://docs.datastax.com/en/developer/java-driver/4.3/
• https://docs.datastax.com/en/developer/java-driver/4.3/upgrade_guide/

[emphasis mine]

More information quoted from the upgrade guide:

Cluster does not exist anymore; the session is now the main component, initialized in a single step:

CqlSession session = CqlSession.builder().build();
session.execute("...");
