There's no JDBC driver for C* 2.x, though we might create a wrapper over
the Java driver at some point. It should be noted
that due to the richer data types in C* there will be limitations with such
a JDBC driver.

Accessing C* is done over the CQL protocol. Creating a RESTful API that is
crafted for your application needs will deliver
much better results than a generic interface. This would make things a lot
more complicated on C* side
and could potentially expose your data to security risks.
