The Cassandra team is pleased to announce the release of
Apache Cassandra version 5.0-alpha1.
DISCLAIMER, this alpha release does not contain the expected 5.0 features:
Vector Search (CEP-30), Transactional Cluster Metadata (CEP-21) and Accord
Transactions (CEP-15). These features will land in a later alpha release.
Apache Cassandra is a fully distributed database. It is the right choice
when you need scalability and high availability without compromising
performance.
