Hi Anuj, Both Apache Cassandra and the DataStax drivers are evolving fast with significant improvements across the board. While we support and provide the latest and greatest, we do also support the users that are already in production and allow them enough time to upgrade. Major release are sometimes introducing breaking changes. That's unfortunate but sometimes the only way we can push things forward. I do agree with your assessment 1000% that if starting now, the best version to go with is the latest on the 3.0 branch. -- Bests, Alex Popescu | @al3xandru Sen.
