How to save Enum in Cassandra using Springdata?

Question

I am trying to save an enumeration in Cassandra using the Springdata framework. Is it possible? I defined my enum:

    public enum Currency {
        GBP, 
        USD, 
        EUR
    }

Then I define my class with @Enumerated annotation in the field:

@Table
public class BondStatic {

    @PrimaryKey
    private String id;

    private String isin;
    private String ticker;
    private Date maturity;
    private Double coupon;
    @Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
    private Currency currency;
    ...

This is my import:

import com.datastax.driver.mapping.EnumType;
import com.datastax.driver.mapping.annotations.Enumerated;

Then I have a Component class for Spring:

@Component
class CassandraDataCLR implements CommandLineRunner {

    @Autowired
    public BondStaticCassandraRepository bondStaticRepository;
    ...

Refuses to:

@RepositoryRestResource(path = "/bond-static")
interface BondStaticCassandraRepository extends CassandraRepository<BondStatic> {

}

Where is my import:

import org.springframework.data.cassandra.repository.CassandraRepository;
import org.springframework.data.rest.core.annotation.RepositoryRestResource;

But when I try to run the following:

    bondStaticRepository.save(bondStatics);

I get:

Value 0 of type class pojo.PocEnums$Currency does not correspond to any CQL3 type

Any suggestions? A simple solution is to make my fields in String and use the enumeration in getter and setter, but it seems like the annotated enum is a much cleaner solution if I can make it work.
