configuring cassandra to "see" datastax C++ on the filesystem

[ora...@xmission.com]

Quick Q. I've installed the datastax c++ driver on the filesyste of
the unix server hosting the cassandra db instance.
I've read thru the docs/web pages and google, but I cannot find text
on how to configure cassandra to recognize that
the datastax c++ driver has been installed on the file system of the
cassandra db server machine.

Can someone forward me a weblink or webpage where I can read up on this info?

TIA

   Thanks for the question orafin!

   The DataStax C/C++ Driver for Apache Cassandra isn't used by the Cassandra server process itself.  Instead you use this driver to allow your C programs to communicate and interact with your Cassandra server.  I'd suggest starting with the simple application in the driver README to give you a sense of how this interaction works.  From there you can use the functionality provided by this driver to enable your applications to interact with Cassandra!

   Thanks again.

Bret,

One other question. Can the datastax c++ driver be installed on a machine
other than the machine hosting the cassandra database? There would have
to be some type tcp/ip link between the datastax driver installed node and
the cassandra db server - yes?

TIA!
