0.5.0

Changed

• Following Datastax's model and allowing better flexibility with various C* providers, authentication now happens with an AuthProvider table that must be instanciated and passed to a session's options. Example:

  local session, err = cassandra.spawn_session {
    shm = "...",
    contact_points = {...},
    username = "username",
    password = "password"
  }

  Becomes:

  local session, err = cassandra.spawn_session {
    shm = "...",
    contact_points = {...},
    auth = cassandra.auth.PlainTextProvider("username", "password")
  }

  The cassandra module contains AuthProviders in cassandra.auth. Only PlainTextProvider is currently implemented.

• Remove the set_log_lvl() function from the cassandra module.

Added

• Stronger test suite and new specs for SSL and Authentication.
