We now test compatibility with Apache Cassandra's duration type (introduced with Apache Cassandra 3.10). Duration requires a driver version >= 3.2.0 so we drop build profiles against earlier driver versions and use Apache Cassandra 3.10 for integration tests.
Enforce frozen user types in collection types when creating tables and frozen user types when referencing a user type from another type. Previously, the driver returned frozen user-types and no interaction from our side was required. Move user-type specifics to UserTypeUtil.
Introduce compatibility code within the tests to build against different driver versions.
Reuse Thread pools during integration test runs to not recreate and dispose Threads multiple times. Increase build and Cassandra memory. Use an external Cassandra instance for TravisCI build jobs.
Align documentation structure with other Spring Data Modules. Add chapters for mapping and supported data types. Add new features chapter. Merge existing documentation into the aligned structure. Add John Blum and Mark Paluch to pom.xml.
We are now compatible with Datastax’ Cassandra Driver 3.1.1 and support the newly introduced configuration options MaxQueueSize for PoolingOptions.
This change also removes test assertions for PoolTimeoutMillis as this option was deprecated and made unusable with 3.1.1.
Remove the previously added netty dependency exclusion in 237ac88 to include netty as transient dependency. Netty was excluded because of a dependency conflict between cassandra-driver-dse and cassandra-all. The conflict gets visible during build-time on CI hosts with symptoms of 100% CPU usage or network timeouts.
We now use cassandra-all 3.7 and cassandra-driver-core 3.1.0 which both require netty 4.0.37.Final.

We now allow registering CustomConversions to register custom converters (read and write targets). CustomConversions registers by default JSR-310, Joda Time and ThreeTen backport type converters.
These types (LocalDate, LocalDateTime) can be used in domain classes and with query method arguments. Date-only types map to Cassandra's date type, Date and time types map to Cassandra's timestamp type. Type mapping works for singular and collection types (List and Set).
```
@Table
public Person
@Id String id;
java.time.LocalDate date;
@CassandraType(type = Name.TIMESTAMP)
java.time.LocalDate timestamp;
List<org.threeten.bp.Instant> timestamps;
}
```

CachedPreparedStatementCreator is now thread-safe and synchronizes concurrent calls to statement preparation. The synchronization prevents multiple calls to Session.prepare(…) for the same session, CQL statement and keyspace.
Add author tags. Add/update license headers where needed. Remove calls to deprecated methods. Adopt pooling options after the driver update. Add hints_directory for Cassandra 3.
Reduce driver baseline to core driver 3.0.1. The DSE driver requires the core driver itself and can be added as dependency to user projects while retaining full compatibility. As of now the DSE driver is rc1 hence it requires core rc1.
Use getTimestamp for timestamp type methods as the driver aligned the method to the type. Support short, byte and time. Enable LocalDate return type and add tests for native supported types.
Change long to bigint type as long was mapped to the counter type when creating tables. Align the default to bigint as bigint is the better choice since table creation uses mostly regular tables and not counter tables. Type can be overriden using @CassandraType.
We now support setting NettyOptions on CassandraCqlClusterFactoryBean and AbstractClusterConfiguration. The cassandra driver 2.1.9 changed its default shutdown behavior by introducing a 2 second quiet period when shutting down Cluster instances. This change was retained throughout the 3.0 driver which slow the test down by an order of magnitude. Configure QueryOptions on tests to prevent delays caused by the asynchronous schema refresh.
