Hi all, Thanks to the hard work of Rick Shaw, prepared statements (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2475) has been committed to trunk. However, before you use it, be advised that the API might be changing in the next few days.
If it does change, it should be limited to moving the bind parameters from string to bytes, (pending a comparison of the performance). I'll send another email with the changes, if any, after the API is expected to be stable. Thanks, -- Eric Evans Acunu | http://www.acunu.com | @acunu
