UUIDGen : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

[Ben Vogan]

Hi all,

I am trying to use Cassandra (v3.5) from spark (v1.6.0 - CDH 5.7) via the
datastax connector (1.6.0-M2) in scala (2.10.5).  My initial test runs fine
locally, but when I try to deploy it to a test machine I am getting the
following exception:

16/05/09 23:04:25 WARN Lost task 0.0 in stage 1.0 (TID 8,
hcompute005.internal.shopkick.com): java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:

The line of code that is failing is just:

UUIDGen.getTimeUUID(timestamp).toString



The java version in this environment is:

$ java -version

java version "1.8.0_91"

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b14)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)



Any advice on how to proceed here?

Thanks,
