| ICluster Interface |
This is the main entry point of the driver. A simple example of access to a Cassandra cluster would be:
Cluster cluster = Cluster.Builder.AddContactPoint("192.168.0.1").Build();
Session session = Cluster.Connect("db1");
foreach (var row in session.execute("SELECT * FROM table1"))
//do something ... A cluster object maintains a permanent connection to one of the cluster node that it uses solely to maintain informations on the state and current topology of the cluster. Using the connection, the driver will discover all the nodes composing the cluster as well as new nodes joining the cluster.

Syntaxpublic interface ICluster : IDisposable
The ICluster type exposes the following members.
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | AllHosts |
Returns all known hosts of this cluster.
|
| Connect |
Creates a new session on this cluster.
|
| Connect(String) |
Creates a new session on this cluster and sets a keyspace to use.
|
| GetHost |
Get the host instance for a given Ip address.
|
| GetReplicas(Byte) |
Gets a collection of replicas for a given partitionKey. Backward-compatibility only, use GetReplicas(keyspace, partitionKey) instead.
|
| GetReplicas(String, Byte) |
Gets a collection of replicas for a given partitionKey on a given keyspace
|
| Shutdown |
Shutdown this cluster instance. This closes all connections from all the
sessions of this * Cluster instance and reclaim all resources
used by it. This method has no effect if the cluster was already shutdown. |
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Configuration |
Cluster client configuration
|
| Metadata |
Gets read-only metadata on the connected cluster.
This includes the know nodes (with their status as seen by the driver) as well as the schema definitions. This method may trigger the creation of a connection if none has been established yet. |
Events| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | HostAdded |
Event that gets triggered when a new host is added to the cluster
|
| HostRemoved |
Event that gets triggered when a host has been removed from the cluster
