The client-server protocol is well defined in the Cassandra repo, so any one may implement a client library for any language. However, it is a far from trivial task, so not many folks build their own. Thus, already-built drivers tend to become the de facto standard, but we (the Apache Cassandra committers/PMC) do not/have not blessed any vendor's driver(s) as official.
As to why there is not a canonical set of drivers in the Cassandra repo, well, we've just never gotten into that game as an OSS community. -Jason (not affiliated with DataStax) On Friday, June 3, 2016, Johan Edstrom <seij...@gmail.com> wrote: > > On Jun 3, 2016, at 9:14 PM, Jeff Jirsa <jeff.ji...@crowdstrike.com > <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','jeff.ji...@crowdstrike.com');>> wrote: > > > https://github.com/hector-client/hector > > > So - that isn’t doing CQL, Right? > > > https://github.com/Netflix/astyanax > > > Upgrading to CQL? > > > http://doanduyhai.github.io/Achilles/ > > > Which driver do you use? > > https://github.com/noorq/casser > > > <cassandra-driver-core.version>2.1.5</cassandra-driver-core.version> > > > > https://github.com/impetus-opensource/Kundera > > > <profile> > <id>ds-driver</id> > <activation> > <activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault> > </activation> > <modules> > <module>cassandra-core</module> > <module>cassandra-ds-driver</module> > </modules> > </profile> > <profile> > <id>thrift</id> > <activation> > <activeByDefault>false</activeByDefault> > </activation> > <modules> > <module>cassandra-core</module> > <module>cassandra-thrift</module> > </modules> > </profile> > > > > > > > https://github.com/deanhiller/playorm > > > > > > > - Jeff ( Not affiliated with datastax ) > > > > > > On 6/3/16, 7:58 PM, "Johan Edstrom" <seij...@gmail.com > <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','seij...@gmail.com');>> wrote: > > How many Java drivers could you point out? > Doesn’t it strike you slightly off that you’d not have a driver for a DB > in the same project you found the DB? > > > > On Jun 3, 2016, at 8:51 PM, Dave Brosius <dbros...@mebigfatguy.com > <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','dbros...@mebigfatguy.com');>> wrote: > > There are many drivers for cassandra, supplied by various individuals and > groups, one of those drivers was started by people at datastax which is > available as an opensource project. > > The open source project is not open to any random person on the internet > to commit to (just like any open source project), so i suppose in that > regard there is some 'control'.
