Cascal Introduction

Cascal is a simple Cassandra library built on the Scala:www.scala-lang.org language that provides a very consistent and simple means by which you can interact with the Cassandra system.

Cascal has several goals including:

• Construct a way to use the Thrift library in a manner more conducive with the Scala language.
• Ensure that no Cassandra specific thrift libraries need to be learned or used.
• Create a type safe model that mimics the Cassandra system while providing various abstractions on top.
• Built in support for connection Pooling.
• 100% usable with Maven – No need to hunt down jars.
