= Spring Data Cassandra Project Info

== Current Status

This community-led http://projects.spring.io/spring-data[Spring Data]
subproject is underway.

A first milestone (M1) is expected sometime in early 1Q14 built on the
following artifacts (or more recent versions thereof):

* Spring Data Commons 1.7.x
* Cassandra 1.x
* Datastax Java Driver 1.x

The GA release is expected as part of the as-yet unnamed fourth Spring
Data Release Train "D", following Spring Data Release Train
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-commons/wiki/Release-Train-Codd[Codd].

== Cassandra 2.x

We are anticipating support for Cassandra 2.x and Datastax Java Driver
2.x in a parallel branch after the 1.x-based support has been
released.

== Source Repository & Issue Tracking

In the next few weeks, we will be transferring the source repository
on GitHub to the https://github.com/spring-projects[Spring]
organization.  Once it's there, we can begin taking contributions from
interested parties.  In the meantime, the Spring Data Cassandra JIRA
can be found at https://jira.springsource.org/browse/DATACASS.
