Choosing Java Driver for using Cassandra with Java EE7
Hi, I plan on using Cassandra in a Java EE7 (Glassfish) project and I wonder which driver I should pick. Can anyone make a recommendation which of the available drivers fits best into a Java EE environment? (I looking for avoiding thread pool management issues mostly. I am not so interested in a JPA integration) Jan
Re: Choosing Java Driver for using Cassandra with Java EE7
I've used most of the java drivers under Glashfish without a problem. IMHO it's really down to the functionality you require in your application. The Java Driver form datastax has the lowest learning curve for any java programmer familiar with JDBC and I believe deals with pool management.

Re: Choosing Java Driver for using Cassandra with Java EE7
I use the DataStax driver anm happy with it so far. Also, think about if driver is being worked on as Cassandra gets updated since CQL version always getting improved so driver needs to improve wth it. So if driver developers not work on it often then you should not use it. Also, I think DataStax driver might have more users so DataStax get mre feedback for improvements and fixes.

Re: Choosing Java Driver for using Cassandra with Java EE7
I definitely recommend the datastax driver so long as you plan on using cql3. Its binary protocol allows multiplexing, is vnode token aware, and does not require serialize/deserialize to thrift. We used astyanax before and it did work well and has support (aka recipes) for standard usage cases like scans.

With The Java Driver form datastax are you referring to cassandra-jdbc? Or the 'core' dirver available at https://github.com/datastax/java-driver? I tried building cassandra-jdbc from SVN like the Wiki[1] says, but got compile errors. Do you know what the quality of cassandra-jdbc is?

What I am concerned with is that thread pool issues in JavaEE should be left to the container and I am trying to understand which driver will integrate with JavaEE in the most natural (aka 'standard') way.

Re: Choosing Java Driver for using Cassandra with Java EE7
Im referring to the core driver from datastax: https://github.com/datastax/java-driver You should be able to build it with maven.
