A Java client driver for Apache Cassandra. This driver works exclusively with the Cassandra Query Language version 3 (CQL3) and Cassandra's binary protocol.

JIRA: https://datastax-oss.atlassian.net/browse/JAVA IRC: #datastax-drivers (freenode)

The driver architecture is based on layers. At the bottom lies the driver core. This core handles everything related to the connections to a Cassandra cluster (for example, connection pool, discovering new nodes, etc.) and exposes a simple, relatively low-level API on top of which higher level layer can be built.

The driver contains the following modules:

• driver-core: the core layer.
• driver-examples: example applications using the other modules which are only meant for demonstration purposes.

More modules including a simple object mapper will come shortly.

Please refer to the README of each module for more information.
