Documentation not explaining how to obtain the CqlSession object (for Cassandra integration)

Thanks for this great project. I’m successfully using it with PostgreSQL already. 👍

However, I don’t get it to work with Cassandra, because I can not obtain the needed CqlSession object.

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'com.datastax.oss.driver.api.core.CqlSession' available: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate. Dependency annotations: {}

The minimal example in the docs does not state how to get it.

@Bean
public CassandraLockProvider lockProvider(CqlSession cqlSession) {
    return new CassandraLockProvider(cqlSession);
}

Here is a full minimal example (using Kotlin) to reproduce the issue: https://gist.github.com/Dobiasd/ac1429ad403c5480ea05fb11f9a53959

It would be cool if we documentation could be extended such that it explains how to get the CqlSession.

Obtaining the CqlSession in a project using spring-boot-starter-data-cassandra seems to be non-trivial

If you’re using the proper Spring Boot version, it should be. I’ve commented your SO question.

Thanks, that should suffice to save some time for future users like me. 👍
