Hi all,

This PR is related to: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-7062

Thanks,

Newest Cassandra is 3.9, but it might be recommendable to use the 3.0.9 version instead if stability is important (unless newer features of 3.x are used)

[oscerd]

Yeah, I guess you're right. 3.9 is a tick-tock release. I'm upgrading the PR :-)

[oscerd]

At least we should stay with 3.2.

[tristantarrant]

I agree with @burmanm: let's use 3.0.10

[oscerd]

I guess this is will need some work on the code.

[burmanm]

Is there something in the code that would require 3.x? I didn't see such commits and the only major feature missing from 3.0.x is SASI (but SASI isn't used here).

[oscerd]

Not sure, but If you try to build the current code with 3.0.10 the build will fail during test, because the cassandra client didn't connect to the Cassandra instance. That's why I was suggesting to use 3.2.

Anyway I'll take a deeper look when I'll have time.

[burmanm]

Ah, try updating the cassandra-driver to newer version in the branch (but keep it separate from the Cassandra version, they're two different things). 3.0.6 is the newest driver version, that should at least work (we use 3.0.5 in the Hawkular to connect to 3.0.x Cassandra versions - but we just haven't noticed the new version 3.0.6).

[oscerd]

Tested with cassandra 3.0.10 and cassandra driver 3.0.5 and 3.0.6 but no luck.

[burmanm]

What's the error? It shouldn't be the versions.

[burmanm]

Sounds more like environment issue ;)

[oscerd]

It was a problem with a new option in cassandra.yaml, I'll push a new PR in minutes :-)

[oscerd]

thanks @burmanm
