Support for official DataStax Cassandra driver

[asilvas]

The old node-cassandra-cql driver has been deprecated, so this takes its place, and includes support for statement tracking as well (modeled after MySQL driver).

The build & test system is a little more involved for integration tests than I was prepared to dedicate at this time, so I did not touch that piece. The tests should pretty much mimic that of the existing node-cassandra-cql driver.

Howdy Aaron,

Thanks for writing this, unfortunately we wont be able to commit resources to this in the near term. With all instrumentation that gets sent as a PR we have to go through and learn the driver in an out in order to prove it works correctly in all cases. If you could provide tests, that would go a good distance into helping us, but even then I can't promise we'll immediately have time to review and merge.

Sorry to sound discouraging, we really do appreciate that you wrote this and would like to dedicate the time, but a good chunk of our team is busy with some cross team work that needs to happen. If I don't hear back from you before then, I'll make sure to update this ticket in a week or so on our availability to work on it.

Sorry for the lack of movement on this issue. We are working on a big refactor of our database instrumentation, and it does not make sense to try to add a new instrumentation until that has been released. I'll try to get this merged once our refactor is out.

Any eta?

We released our big refactor yesterday, I am trying to make some time to look into this today

Howdy, we totally forgot to close this out when we released support for the datastax driver. We added it in v1.17.1. I believe @hayes did a from scratch or copy from the node-cassandra-cql driver. He can go into further detail if needed.
