Connecting to Apache Cassandra and DSE clusters using DataStax drivers

All the DataStax drivers share common features for connecting to Cassandra and DSE clusters.

Connecting to DataStax Astra databases

The DataStax drivers connect to DataStax Astra databases, in addition to traditional DataStax Enterprise (DSE) or Apache Cassandra database clusters.

Authentication in DataStax drivers

The DataStax drivers support Apache Cassandra™ authentication and DSE Unified Authentication.

Using SSL in DataStax drivers

DataStax drivers support SSL-encrypted connections between the driver and server.

Load balancing with DataStax drivers

The DataStax drivers control the distribution of the incoming load across the DSE cluster.

Connection pooling

The DataStax drivers maintain a pool of connections to each of the nodes selected by the load balancing policy.

Retry policies

Retry policies allow the DataStax drivers to automatically retry a request upon encountering specific types of server errors.

Reconnection policies

Reconnection policies allow the DataStax drivers to automatically reestablish a connection to a node that was previously marked as down.

Execution profiles

Execution profiles allows a single session to run different types of query workloads, each with its own settings.
