Calliope is a library providing an interface to consume data from Cassandra to spark and store RDDs from Spark to Cassandra.
In Greek mythology, Calliope (/kəˈlaɪ.əpiː/ kə-ly-ə-pee; Ancient Greek: Καλλιόπη Kalliopē "beautiful-voiced") was the muse of epic poetry,daughter of Zeus and Mnemosyne, and is believed to be Homer's muse, the inspiration for the Odyssey and the Iliad.
We hope Calliope will also be the muse for your epic data poetry!

This release of Calliope was compiled against Spark 0.7.3 and you are using Spark 0.8.x. The packages in spark changed upon its move to Apache and so you are seeing the ClassNotFound exception.
You could either wait for our next release to be done in Feb '14 or you could sign up to get access to our early access reposittory at http://tuplejjump.github.io/calliope
