+ * Fix total timeout calculation for getAllNodeSettings (CASSANALYTICS-179)
  * Support vector data type (CASSANALYTICS-26)
  * CDC batch-write mixing a CDC-enabled and CDC-disabled table drops the CDC table's mutation (CASSANALYTICS-182)
  * CdcState.ReplicaCountSerializer map-size overflow corrupts persisted CDC state (CASSANALYTICS-184)
