What's New in 2.3

Support for materialized view and secondary index metadata
Support for clustering key order, frozen<> and Cassandra version metadata
Blacklist, whitelist DC, and blacklist DC load balancing policies

More information about features included in 2.3 can be found in this blog post.

Upgrading from 2.0 or 2.1 to 2.2+

The new schema metadata API in 2.2 required some breaking API changes. Applications that used the previous schema metadata API from 2.0 and 2.1 will require some small modifications to use the new API. More information about the new schema metadata API can be found in this blog post.

Upgrading from 1.0 to 2.0+

There were a couple breaking API changes between 1.0 and 2.0 that are documented here.

Features

Asynchronous API
Simple, Prepared, and Batch statements
Asynchronous I/O, parallel execution, and request pipelining
Connection pooling
Automatic node discovery
Automatic reconnection
Configurable load balancing
Works with any cluster size
Authentication
SSL
Latency-aware routing
Performance metrics
Tuples and UDTs
Nested collections
Retry policies
Client-side timestamps
Data types
Idle connection heartbeats

Compatibility

This release is compatible with Apache Cassandra 1.2, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 3.0.

A complete compatibility matrix for both Apache Cassandra and DataStax Enterprise can be found here.

Installation

Binary packages are available for CentOS, Ubuntu and Windows. Packages for the driver's dependencies, libuv (1.x) and OpenSSL, are also provided under the dependencies directory for each platform e.g. CentOS 7, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows.

Note: CentOS and Ubuntu use the version of OpenSSL provided with the distribution.

The driver can also be built from source.

A Simple Example

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

  CassCluster* cluster = cass_cluster_new();
  CassSession* session = cass_session_new();

  /* Add contact points */
  cass_cluster_set_contact_points(cluster, "127.0.0.1,127.0.0.2,127.0.0.3");

  /* Provide the cluster object as configuration to connect the session */
  connect_future = cass_session_connect(session, cluster);

  if (cass_future_error_code(connect_future) == CASS_OK) {
    CassFuture* close_future = NULL;

    /* Build statement and execute query */
    CassStatement* statement
      = cass_statement_new("SELECT keyspace_name "
                           "FROM system.schema_keyspaces", 0);

    CassFuture* result_future = cass_session_execute(session, statement);

    if(cass_future_error_code(result_future) == CASS_OK) {
      /* Retrieve result set and iterate over the rows */
      const CassResult* result = cass_future_get_result(result_future);

            (int)message_length, message);
  }

  cass_future_free(connect_future);
  cass_cluster_free(cluster);
  cass_session_free(session);
