Hi Jean, You should use 3.0.0-beta1.
TL;DR DataStax Java driver series 2.2.x has been discontinued in favor of series 3.x; we explained why in this mail to the Java driver mailing list <https://groups.google.com/a/lists.datastax.com/forum/m/#!topic/java-driver-user/Vu0cD0BguMc>. We do not advise users to use this series. So the most recent driver version compatible with all versions of Cassandra, including 2.2 and 3.x, is now 3.0.0-beta1, although 3.0.0-rc1 will be released very soon. In spite of its "beta" label, version 3.0.0-beta1 has been thoroughly tested against all versions of Cassandra and is definitely production-ready... as long as the Cassandra version in use is also production-ready. Note however that Cassandra 2.2 and 3.0 are quite recent and most companies AFAICT do not consider them yet as production-ready. Hope that helps, Alexandre On Tue, Dec 22, 2015 at 4:40 PM Jean Tremblay < jean.tremb...@zen-innovations.com> wrote: > Hi, > Which Java Driver is suited for Cassandra 2.2.x. ? > I see datastax 3.0.0 beta1 and datastax 2.2.0 rc3... > Are they suited for production? > Is there anything better? > Thanks for your comments and replies? > Jean > -- Alexandre Dutra Driver & Tools Engineer @ DataStax
