Lindorm:Install the Cassandra CQL Driver

Last Updated:Mar 30, 2026

Lindorm supports the Apache Cassandra wire protocol, so you can connect to it using any standard Cassandra client driver. Drivers are available for Java, C++, C#, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Scala. This topic covers how to install the Java driver.

For drivers in other languages, see Client drivers on the Apache Cassandra documentation site.

Install the Java driver

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.8 or later installed

Add the Maven dependency

Lindorm CQL uses the DataStax Java Driver. Use version 3.7 or later.

Add the following dependency to your pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.datastax.cassandra</groupId>
    <artifactId>cassandra-driver-core</artifactId>
    <version>3.8.0</version>
</dependency>
Adding this dependency pulls in several transitive libraries. To avoid dependency conflicts, test the integration in a separate project before adding it to an existing one.
