raihan26 on "Datastax API- CQL Binary protocol example"

I have started working with Cassandra database. I am planning to use Datastax API to upsert/read into/from cassandra database. I am totally new to this Datastax API (which uses new Binary protocol) and I am not able to find lot of documentations as well which have some proper examples.

When I was working with Cassandra CLI using the Netflix client(Astyanax client), then I created the column family like this-

create column family profile
with key_validation_class = 'UTF8Type'
and comparator = 'UTF8Type'
and default_validation_class = 'UTF8Type'
and column_metadata = [
  {column_name : crd, validation_class : 'DateType'}
  {column_name : lmd, validation_class : 'DateType'}
  {column_name : account, validation_class : 'UTF8Type'}
  {column_name : advertising, validation_class : 'UTF8Type'}
  {column_name : behavior, validation_class : 'UTF8Type'}
  {column_name : info, validation_class : 'UTF8Type'}
  ];

Now I was trying to do the same thing using Datastax API. So to start working with Datastax API, do I need to create the column family in some different way as mentioned above? Or the above column familiy will work fine whenever I will try to insert data into Cassandra database using Datastax API.

If the above column family will not work then-

First of all I have created the KEYSPACE like below-

CREATE KEYSPACE USERS WITH strategy_class = 'SimpleStrategy' AND strategy_options:replication_factor = '1';

Now I am confuse how to create the table? I am not sure which is the right way to do that?

Should I create like this?

CREATE TABLE profile (
id varchar,
account varchar,
advertising varchar,
behavior varchar,
info varchar,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

or should I create like this?

CREATE COLUMN FAMILY profile (
id varchar,
account varchar,
advertising varchar,
behavior varchar,
info varchar,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

And also how to add-

crd as DateType
lmd as DateType

in above table or column family while working with Datastax API?

Any help will be appreciated.
