CQL to DSE version mapping

  • DSE 6.0 uses CQL 6.0
  • DSE 5.1 uses CQL 5.1
  • DSE 5.0 uses CQL 3.3

Upgrade to DSE drivers

  • While the DataStax drivers for Apache Cassandra drivers can connect to DSE 5.0 and later clusters, DataStax strongly recommends upgrading to the DSE drivers. The DSE drivers provide functionality for all DataStax Enterprise features.

Combined documentation

  • Starting with DataStax Enterprise 5.1, the DSE and Apache Cassandra™ docs have been combined.

Apache Cassandra maintenance window

  • Documentation for Apache Cassandra 3.0 and Apache Cassandra 2.1 will be maintained until the corresponding DataStax Enterprise versions reach end-of-service-life (EOSL). When you download DataStax Enterprise, you will get the latest version of Cassandra with DataStax enhancements and fixes.
