3.3, and CQL 3.1 are no longer supported or maintained. Content for the following DataStax
produced Cassandra documents were last updated in early January 2017:
- Cassandra 3.x Linux and Windows
- Cassandra 3.0 Windows
- Cassandra 2.2 Linux and Windows
- Cassandra 2.0
- Cassandra 1.2
- For open-source Cassandra, see the Apache Cassandra documentation.
