We now support configuration of a CqlTemplate reference when creating CassandraTemplate via XML namespace configuration. Configuring a reference allows reusing an existing CqlOperations instance via CassandraTemplateFactoryBean. Additionally, CassandraTemplateFactoryBean now supports setting a SessionFactory.
<cql:template id="my-cql-template" />
<cassandra:template cql-template-ref="my-cql-template"/>
