Cassandra ↔ DataStax Java Driver: Token‑Aware Routing When Authentication Is Disabled
Goal: Verify whether the DataStax Java Driver 4.x continues to use token‑aware routing when a Cassandra cluster is configured with AllowAllAuthenticator (no authentication) and therefore does not require credentials. Uncertainty: The driver still attempts to read node topology from system tables to build its token map; if those reads succeed or fail based on
