DataStax Java Driver: 2.0.10 Released!

The Java Driver team has released version 2.0.10 with new features, improvements and bugfixes. Highlights include Speculative Executions for protection against bad read latencies, QueryLogger for logging queries executed by the driver, PerHostPercentileTracker for recording latency histograms, and Netty shading for customizing the underlying layer of the driver. Automatic query paging has been made possible with JAVA-550, while BoundStatement class now includes get*() methods to retrieve typed CQL values. The driver can also report information about token distribution across the ring, useful for Hadoop and Spark applications interacting with Cassandra tables. Connection pool resizing algorithm has been improved, and asynchronous parallel connection pool initialization is introduced. JAVA-425, which caused aggressive behavior regarding driver read timeouts, has been reverted. New API to check schema agreement between peers and changes in thread naming are also included.
