A C/C client driver for Apache Cassandra. This driver works exclusively with the Cassandra Query Language version 3 (CQL3) and Cassandra's Native Protocol (version 1 and 2).

- Completely asynchronous
- Exception safe
- Ad-hoc queries
- Prepared statements
- Batch statements
- Connection pool with auto-reconnect
- Cassandra collections
- Compatibility with binary protocol version 1 and 2
- Authentication (via credentials using SASL PLAIN)
- SSL
There were a couple breaking API changes between beta5 and rc1 that are documented in detail here.
There are several examples provided here: examples.
