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;
}
```
