 No, there isn't but the same driver versions apply to C* 4.0 under the
 column 3.0+.

 Thanks for bringing this up as it has prompted me to consider its
 inclusion in the official Apache Cassandra website and I've logged
 CASSANDRA-16617 .

Re: Datastax Java Driver Compatibility Matrix

[C. Scott Andreas]

Hi Jai,Cassandra 4.0 supports CQLv3, CQLv4, and CQLv5. A driver connecting using any of these protocols will 
work. Cassandra 4.0 did not remove support for CQLv3 which makes adoption easier for a very large portion of 
the user community.I'd recommend not specifying the protocol version in your cluster builder and allow the 
client and server to negotiate the newest matching protocol version instead.I wouldn't recommend attempting 
to force a 3.2 Java Driver to negotiate CQLv5, though as its support is definitely incomplete. The 3.2 Java 
Driver is five years old and a very large number of bugs have been fixed since then. Newer 3.x Java Driver 
releases should be binary-compatible so you can likely just bump your dependency version and immediately pick 
up a large number of bugfixes.But yes, Java Driver 3.2 will work fine using CQLv4 or CQLv3 with Cassandra 
4.0.– ScottOn Apr 19, 2022, at 11:45 AM, Jai Bheemsen Rao Dhanwada  wrote:Thank

Re: Datastax Java Driver Compatibility Matrix

[Jai Bheemsen Rao Dhanwada]

Thank you Scott for the information.

I am currently using the 3.2 version of Datastax Driver and using the
Cluster Builder with Protocol Version V3. Does this mean 3.2 with
protocol version v3 can still work with Cassandra4.0 server?

Also from the documentation

I see that 3.2 supports upto V5 version of protocol.

Does this mean a) 3.2 driver with V3 protocol works for cassandra 4.0 or b)
I have to change the protocol version to V4 or higher on 3.2 to be able to
work with 4.0?

Re: Datastax Java Driver Compatibility Matrix

The DataStax Java 3.x drivers work very well with Apache Cassandra 4.0. I'd recommend one of the 
more recent releases in the series, though (e.g., 3.6.x+).I'm not the author of this 
documentation, but it may refer to the fact that the 3.x Java Driver supports the CQL v4 wire 
protocol, but not the new v5 wire protocol introduced in Cassandra 4.0. This means that all 
existing features will continue to work fine; but a small number of new features in 4.0 will 
require a new driver before they can be adopted.A couple examples of new features in the CQLv5 
wire protocol are client checksumming in the absence of TLS or a checksumming codec, better 
read/write failure error messages, and native duration types.– ScottOn Apr 19, 2022, at 10:08 AM,

Re: Datastax Java Driver Compatibility Matrix

Hello Erick,

It looks like the 3.0+ driver is not compatible with the Cassandra 4.0 as
per: https://docs.datastax.com/en/driver-matrix/doc/java-drivers.html

The documents say it's partially compatible, what does this mean? What will
be broken if I continue to use 3.0+ driver with Cassandra 4.0? I did a
quick test with my application using 3.2 driver with Cassandra 4.0.3 and it
works fine.

Datastax Java Driver Compatibility Matrix

[Jai Bheemsen Rao Dhanwada]

Hello,

Is there a Datastax Java Driver

Compatibility matrix available for Cassandra 4.0?

Re: Datastax Java Driver compatibility

[Jonathan Haddad]

The drivers are not maintained by the Cassandra project, it's up to each
driver maintainer to list their compatibility.

Thanks for the response Amanda,

Yes we can go with the latest version but we are trying one change at a
time, so want to make sure the version compatibility. b/w any plans to
update the documentation for the latest versions for apache cassandra?

Re: Datastax Java Driver compatibility

Hi there-

I checked with the team here (at DataStax) and this should work. Any reason
you need to stick with Java Driver 3.2, there is a 3.6 release.

Thanks!

Datastax Java Driver compatibility

[Jai Bheemsen Rao Dhanwada]

Hello,

I am looking for Datastax Driver compatibility vs apache cassandra 3.11.3
version.
However the doc doesn't talk about the 3.11 version.
https://docs.datastax.com/en/driver-matrix/doc/driver_matrix/javaDrivers.html

Can someone please confirm if the Datastax Java Driver 3.2.0 version work
with 3.11.3 version of apache cassandra?
Thanks
