In my last post, "Hello Cassandra," I looked at downloading the Cassandra NoSQL database and using cqlsh to connect to a Cassandra database. In this post, I look at the basics of connecting to a Cassandra database from a Java client.

Although there are several frameworks available for accessing the Cassandra database from Java, I will use the DataStax Java Client JAR in this post. The DataStax Java Driver for Apache Cassandra is available on GitHub. The datastax/java-driver GitHub project page states that it is a "Java client driver for Apache Cassandra" that "works exclusively with the Cassandra Query Language version 3 (CQL3)" and is "licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0."
