DataStax documentation for Apache Cassandra
DataStax has different versions of documentation for Apache Cassandra:
- Open-source Apache Cassandra (OSS).
- DataStax Distribution of Apache Cassandra documentation is based on the DataStax enhanced version of Apache Cassandra® 3.11 that is included in DataStax Enterprise (DSE) 5.1. (Patch releases for DDAC correspond to the DSE 5.1 patches.)
- Cassandra documentation that was included as part of DSE releases. This documentation is no longer supported or maintained, but it is available for users of DSE versions that have reached EOSL or Cassandra Windows users:
Note: OSS and DDAC supports the DataStax drivers for Apache Cassandra and DataStax Bulk Loader
(dsbulk).
Documentation maintenance policy
After a DataStax Enterprise version reaches end-of-service-life, other corresponding products are not supported and documentation updates are no longer provided.
