- * {@link org.springframework.beans.factory.FactoryBean} for configuring a Cassandra {@link Cluster}.
- * 

- * This factory bean allows configuration and creation of {@link Cluster} bean. Most options default to {@literal null}.
- * Unsupported options are configured via {@link ClusterBuilderConfigurer}.
- * 

- * The factory bean initializes keyspaces, if configured, accoording to its lifecycle. Keyspaces can be created after
- * {@link #afterPropertiesSet() initialization} and dropped when this factory is {@link #destroy() destroyed}. Keyspace
- * actions can be configured via {@link #setKeyspaceActions(List) XML} and {@link #setKeyspaceCreations(List)
- * programatically}. Additional {@link #getStartupScripts()} and {@link #getShutdownScripts()} are executed after
- * running keyspace actions.
