Latest DSE is based on 3.11 (possibly due to CASSANDRA-12269, but just a guess).
For us (only), none of 3.0+/3.11+ qualifies for production to be honest, when you are familiar with having 2.1 in production. · 3.0 needs more hardware resources to handle the same load => https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12269. Improved (close/back to 2.1 level) in 3.11 · With 3.11.0 we are seeing the following memory leak (at least here, but possibly nobody else out there, cause the ticket gets close to zero attention *g*): https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13929 · From an operational perspective, the repair area got much more troublesome compared to 2.1 when introducing incremental repairs being the default in 2.2+ We stay on 2.1 for now. Just my opinion. Thomas From: Herbert Fischer [mailto:herbert.fisc...@crossengage.io] Sent: Dienstag, 07.

I've never heard of anyone using Cassandra > 3.0.x on production.
