Description

Nowhere in the native specs is specified for which Cassandra version it is compatible with. This has been confusing to me when implementing a given protocol in a Lua driver, and has apparently been confusing other people [1].

I remember seeing a table specifying which specs were compatible with which Cassandra version somewhere in the Python driver documentation but I am currently unable to find it.

Proposed solution: maybe include a small table in each specification file describing the compatibilities between Cassandra and the current (and eventually older) specs.
