This article describes how to delete data in Azure Cosmos DB Cassandra API tables from Spark.

Sample data generator
We will use this code fragment to generate sample data:
//Create dataframe
val booksDF = Seq(
("b00001", "Arthur Conan Doyle", "A study in scarlet", 1887,11.33),
("b00023", "Arthur Conan Doyle", "A sign of four", 1890,22.45),
("b01001", "Arthur Conan Doyle", "The adventures of Sherlock Holmes", 1892,19.83),
("b00501", "Arthur Conan Doyle", "The memoirs of Sherlock Holmes", 1893,14.22),
("b00300", "Arthur Conan Doyle", "The hounds of Baskerville", 1901,12.25)
).toDF("book_id", "book_author", "book_name", "book_pub_year","book_price")
//Persist
booksDF.write
.mode("append")
.format("org.apache.spark.sql.cassandra")
.options(Map( "table" -> "books", "keyspace" -> "books_ks", "output.consistency.level" -> "ALL", "ttl" -> "10000000"))
.save()
Dataframe API
Delete rows that match a condition
//1) Create dataframe
val deleteBooksDF = spark
.read
.format("org.apache.spark.sql.cassandra")
.options(Map( "table" -> "books", "keyspace" -> "books_ks"))
.load
.filter("book_pub_year = 1887")
//2) Review execution plan
deleteBooksDF.explain
//3) Review table data before execution
println("==================")
println("1) Before")
deleteBooksDF.show
println("==================")
//4) Delete selected records in dataframe
println("==================")
println("2a) Starting delete")
//Reuse connection for each partition
val cdbConnector = CassandraConnector(sc)
deleteBooksDF.foreachPartition(partition => {
cdbConnector.withSessionDo(session =>
partition.foreach{ book =>
val delete = s"DELETE FROM books_ks.books where book_id='"+book.getString(0) +"';"
session.execute(delete)
})
})
println("2b) Completed delete")
println("==================")
//5) Review table data after delete operation
println("3) After")
spark
.read
.format("org.apache.spark.sql.cassandra")
.options(Map( "table" -> "books", "keyspace" -> "books_ks"))
.load
.show

RDD API
Delete all the rows in the table
//1) Create RDD with all rows

//Reuse connection for each partition
