Cassandra is a NoSQL database sponsored by Apache.
Cassandra 3.0 brings in some new, significant features including:
- A CQL-centric storage model
- materialized views
For more information, see Apache's release announcement.
Additionally, 3.0 marked the beginning of the new "tick-tock" release cycle being used by the Apache Cassandra dev team (Cassandra 2.2, 3.0, and Beyond). As of this writing, the Cassandra-3.0 tag should be used for versions 3.0.x, 3.1.x, and 3.2.x., as they have all come out in a relatively short period of time. New versions of 3.x will continue to surface monthly.
This tag should cover all of the 3.x versions, until the release of version 4.0. We should not need to create new tags as we did with Cassandra 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2. Those versions each represented significant changes in Cassandra. So while it made sense to create additional tags for Cassandra 2.x, the same is not true for 3.x.
