Compatibility

The wrapper uses Java Driver for Apache Cassandra®. This driver is designed for Apache Cassandra® 2.1+ and DataStax Enterprise (5.0+). So, it will throw "unsupported feature" exceptions if used against an older version of Cassandra cluster.

The following table specifies the compatibility of this JDBC wrapper with different Cassandra clusters:

Cassandra JDBC driver version	built on Java Driver	Apache Cassandra®	DataStax Enterprise	DataStax Astra
≥ 4.13.0	4.18.1	2.1 - 4.x ✅	5.0 - 6.x ✅	✅
		≥ 5.0 🟨	≥ 7.0 🟨
4.11.0 → 4.12.0	4.17.0	2.1 - 4.x ✅	5.0 - 6.x ✅	✅
