Hi *, (1) I released hawkular-parent 20 on Friday. The only important change is that both Cassandra and Cassandra Driver versions are now managed in Hawkular Parent and that both versions were upgraded to newest 2.2.*: https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-parent-pom/blob/20/pom.xml#L204 https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-parent-pom/blob/20/pom.xml#L217 https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-parent-pom/blob/20/pom.xml#L250-L254 https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular-parent-pom/blob/20/pom.xml#L296-L300 (2) I released Embedded Cassandra 0.2.0.Final on Friday that makes use of Parent 20 and Cassandra 2.2.0. We are in the middle of figuring out if Cassandra 2.2.0 is good enough to be used in Hawkular master: https://github.com/hawkular/hawkular/pull/405 (3) Do not upgrade to Parent 20 yet, unless you need to test with Cassandra 2.2.0 Best, Peter
