Staying Ahead of the Curve with Spring and Cassandra 4
summary
Cassandra 4.0 is approaching GA, tested on clusters up to 1,000 nodes, adds zero-copy streaming (up to 5x faster), audit logging, virtual tables, Java 11/ZGC support and per-node ports for containerization; DataStax Astra offers a managed Cassandra with REST/GraphQL and a free 10 GB tier plus examples at https://github.com/DataStax-Examples/spring-data-starter/. The Java driver 4.9 is fully async/non-blocking, merges Cluster+Session into CqlSession merged, enforces a local datacenter, adds execution profiles and compile-time object mapping. Spring Data Cassandra 3.0 and Spring Boot 2.3 require driver 4, support flattened embedded objects, and expect contact points with ports or the Astra secure-connect bundle.
