Vitaliy, The DataStax Java driver is very actively maintained by a good size team and a lot of great community contributors. It's version 3.x compatible and even has some 4.x features starting to creep in. Support for virtual tables (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7622) was just merged as an example. Even the largest DataStax customers have a mix of enterprise + OSS and we want to support them either way. Giving developers the most consistent experience is part of that goal.
As for spring-data-cassandra, it does pull the latest driver as a part of its own build, so you will already have it in your classpath. Spring adds some auto-magic that you should be aware. The part you mentioned about the schema management, is one to be careful with using. If you use it in dev, it's not a huge problem. If it gets out to prod, you could potentially have A LOT of concurrent schema changes happening which can lead to bad things. Also, some of the spring API features such as findAll() can expose typical c* anti-patterns such as "allow filtering" Just be aware of what feature does what. And finally, another potential production problem is that if you use a lot of keyspaces, Spring will instantiate a new Driver Session object per keyspace which can lead to a lot of redundant connection to the database. From the driver, a better way is to specify a keyspace per query. As you are using spring-data-cassandra, please share your experiences if you can. There are a lot of developers that would benefit from some real-world stories.
