Spring Boot with Cassandra 3.x driver

Question

I use Spring boot 1.3.8.RELEASE. To use cassandra 3.x driver i tried something like below;

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-data-cassandra</artifactId>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-data-cassandra</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework.data</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-data-cassandra</artifactId>
        <version>1.4.0.RELEASE</version>
        <exclusions>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>com.datastax.cassandra</groupId>
                <artifactId>cassandra-driver-core</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
            <exclusion>
                <groupId>com.datastax.cassandra</groupId>
                <artifactId>cassandra-driver-dse</artifactId>
            </exclusion>
        </exclusions>
    </dependency>
    <!-- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.datastax.cassandra/cassandra-driver-core -->
    <dependency>
        <groupId>com.datastax.cassandra</groupId>
        <artifactId>cassandra-driver-core</artifactId>
        <version>3.1.0</version>
    </dependency>

But i get error;

Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.datastax.driver.core.DataType.asJavaClass()Ljava/lang/Class;
at org.springframework.data.cassandra.mapping.CassandraSimpleTypeHolder.<clinit>(CassandraSimpleTypeHolder.java:62) ~[spring-data-cassandra-1.4.0.RELEASE.jar:?]

I tried this cause at https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/5835 , there is a post ;

Adopting the Cassandra 3 changes in Spring Data Cassandra 1.5 (Ingalls) does not impose breaking changes for Spring Boot. Tested the upgrade with Boot 1.3.3 and 1.4.0-SNAPSHOT.

Isn't it supposed to be like above? Where i am wrong?

NOTE: I was trying this example: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/tree/master/spring-boot-samples/spring-boot-sample-data-cassandra

…does not impose breaking changes for Spring Boot… means that one can use Spring Data Ingalls (that translates to Spring Data Cassandra 1.5) with Spring Boot 1.4. Spring Data Ingalls is available as M1 release. — mp911de

spring-data-cassandra-1.4.0.RELEASE depends on <cassandra.version>2.1.11</cassandra.version> and <cassandra-driver-dse.version>2.1.7.1</cassandra-driver-dse.version>see https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-cassandra/blob/1.4.0.RELEASE/pom.xml.

If you want to use Cassandra 3.x you should upgrade to spring-boot 1.5.x to benifit from spring-boot-starter-data-cassandra:1.5.x that depends on <cassandra.version>3.0.0</cassandra.version> and <cassandra-driver.version>3.0.3</cassandra-driver.version>see https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-data-cassandra/blob/1.5.0.M1/pom.xml

Remove Cassandra driver dependency from pom file. Spring boot will provide the right version
