Answer 1

DSE distributes a patched driver for use with DSE 3.1 authentication.

See https://github.com/datastax/java-driver/tree/1.0 and this...

DSE users should use the following Maven dependency (note the version is set to 1.0.5-dse):

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.datastax.cassandra</groupId>
  <artifactId>cassandra-driver-core</artifactId>
  <version>1.0.5-dse</version>
</dependency>
