Class not found com/google/common/util/concurrent/FutureFallback

I am getting this error when I try to connect to Cassandra from Java using DataStax Java Driver. I have read few answer on SO. Here it says com.google.common.util.concurrent.FutureFallback is deprecated in Guava 19.0 and removed since Guava 20.0. So, do not use Guava 20.0 or greater.

Moreover, I am using Pmml-Evaluator which requires Guava 20.0. My code works fine if I remove this code of connecting to Cassandra. So, how do i resolve this now?

As you have encountered, the DataStax Java Driver for Apache Cassandra does not support Guava 20 and 21 yet (see: JAVA-1328).

However, there is a working PR that has been tested for Guava 16.01, 17.0, 18.0, 19.0, 20.0 and 21.0 and we are targetting version 3.2.0 for this fix.

I just noticed that the pom.xml from pmml-evaluator you shared shows a supported version range of [14.0, 20.0]:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
  <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
  <version>[14.0, 20.0]</version>
</dependency>

What you could do is exclude guava as a dependency in org.jpmml, i.e.:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.jpmml</groupId>
  <artifactId>pmml-evaluator</artifactId>
  <version>1.3.4</version>
  <exclusions>
    <exclusion>
      <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
      <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
  </exclusions>
</dependency>

This should prevent guava 20.0 from being pulled in as a result of resolving dependencies for pmml-evaluator and guava 16.01 would instead be pulled in via transitive dependency of the java driver.
