This library uses the http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cql[cql] library
which implements Cassandra's CQL protocol and complements it with the
neccessary I/O operations. The feature-set includes:
.Node discovery
The driver discovers nodes automatically from a small set of bootstrap nodes.
.Customisable load-balancing policies
In addition to pre-built LB policies such as round-robin, users of this
library can provide their own policies if desired.
.Support for connection streams
Requests can be multiplexed over a few connections.
.Customisable retry settings
Support for default retry settings as well as local overrides per query.
.Prepared queries
Prepared queries are an optimisation which parse and prepare a query only
once on Cassandra nodes but execute it many times with different concrete
values.
