Question

I'm new to cassandra.Our application uses cassandra-driver-core-3.1 to connect to Apache Cassandra.We've a requirement to connect to DSE 6.8.Can we use cassandra-driver-core-3.11.2 classes to connect to DSE6.8 instead of using DSE specific classes?

Cluster.Builder builder = Cluster.builder();
LinkedList<InetSocketAddress> localLinkedList = new LinkedList<InetSocketAddress>();
String host = "****";
String port = "9042";
localLinkedList.add(new InetSocketAddress(host, Integer.valueOf(port)));
builder.addContactPointsWithPorts(localLinkedList);
Session session = builder.build().connect("people");
