Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-4768:
--------------------------------------
I'd prefer to use the Apache Cassandra driver unless there is a compelling
reason to use the DataStax driver. (If the DataStax driver is a drop-in
replacement for the Apache driver, you should say that, and people can make the
choice for themselves.)
What Java versions does the upgraded driver support? Calcite supports JDK 8 and
higher, and I don't want to limit our users options unnecessarily.
Otherwise, sounds good. A PR would be welcome.
I removed '1.28.0' from the 'affects version' field because 1.28 is not yet
released.
> Upgrade Cassandra driver to latest 4.x
> --------------------------------------
>
> Key: CALCITE-4768
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-4768
> Project: Calcite
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: cassandra-adapter
> Affects Versions: 1.27.0
> Reporter: Madhavan
> Priority: Critical
>
> The Cassandra driver in Calcite uses the very old & outdated [3.6.0
> driver|https://github.com/apache/calcite/blob/calcite-1.27.0/gradle.properties#L82].
> The latest driver at the time of this writing is
> [4.13.0|https://docs.datastax.com/en/developer/java-driver/4.13/changelog/#changelog],
> also checkout the [upgrade guide from 3.x to
> 4.x|https://docs.datastax.com/en/developer/java-driver/4.11/upgrade_guide/].
> Upgrading the driver will enable Calcite [& other projects that uses Calcite
> like Drill, etc.,] users to interact with any Cassandra cluster of version
> 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, 4.x or even the [DBaaS versions using Secure Connect Bundle
> (SCB)|https://docs.datastax.com/en/astra/docs/connecting-to-your-database-with-the-datastax-java-driver.html]
> and leverage the fixes, feature and improvements done all only in the
> Unified Drivers moving forward.
