Description

Flink's Cassandra connector is currently only supporting com.datastax.cassandra:cassandra-driver-core version 3.0.0.

The Cassandra community supports 3 versions. One GA (general availability, the latest version), one stable and one older supported release per https://cassandra.apache.org/_/download.html.

These are currently:

Cassandra 4.0 (GA)
Cassandra 3.11 (Stable)
Cassandra 3.0 (Older supported release).

We should support (and follow) the supported versions by the Cassandra community
