Description

Sidecar provides a class to provide utilities to access package private methods in the datastax driver. However, the nature of the static methods is that it doesn't allow for plugging a custom implementation. For example, if we plug a new driver version, these methods might not necessarily work as APIs might change between version changes. For that reason, we need to provide a shim layer to access these utilities, and allow pluggability when needed.
