We evaluated both 3.0.x and 3.11.x. +1 for 3.11.2 as we faced major performance 
issues with 3.0.x. We have NOT evaluated new features on 3.11.x.

Hello Tom,

It's good to hear this kind of feedbacks,
Thanks for sharing.

3.11.x seems to get more love from the community wrt patches. This is why I'd 
recommend 3.11.x for new projects.


I also agree with this analysis.

Stay away from any of the 2.x series, they're going EOL soonish and the newer 
versions are very stable.


+1 here as well. Maybe add that 3.11.x, that is described as 'very stable' 
above, aims at stabilizing Cassandra after the tick-tock releases and is a 'bug 
fix' series and brings features developed during this period, even though it is 
needed to be careful with of some the new features, even in latest 3.11.x 
versions.
I did not work that much with it yet, but I think I would pick 3.11.2 as well 
for a new cluster at the moment.

Hello,

Our 5 cents. Either 3.0.16 or 3.11.x
We are really happy with the way 3.11.1/2 is behaving.
We still have a lot of really well behaving Clusters in 2.1/2.2 latest.

Re: Whch version is the best version to run now?

2018-03-02 Thread Joaquin Casares 
Hello Kenneth,

We've been recommending 3.11.2 for new projects since it comes with quite a
few performance improvements and bug fixes not available in 3.0.16.

Upgrading to newer versions is taken on a case-by-case basis, but if 2.x is
pretty important to the customer, 2.2.12 is our go-to recommendation.

Cheers,
