DataStax Docs

Documentation for configuring, upgrading, and deploying DataStax Enterprise, DSE OpsCenter, CQL, DataStax Drivers, and DataStax Studio.

Apache Cassandra maintenance window

  • Documentation for Apache Cassandra 3.0 will be maintained until the DataStax Enterprise 5.0 has reached end-of-service-life (EOSL). When you download DataStax Enterprise 5.0, you will get the latest version of Cassandra with DataStax enhancements and fixes.

CQL to DSE version mapping

  • DSE 6.7 uses CQL 6.7
  • DSE 6.0 uses CQL 6.0
  • DSE 5.1 uses CQL 5.1
  • DSE 5.0 uses CQL 3.3

DataStax and Apache Cassandra 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.
