 This is a change in behavior. In the DataStax driver, when `localDc` would not be provided,

+#### legacy RetryPolicy
+
+The `RetryPolicy` as present in the DataStax driver is no longer supported.
+It was replaced with a [new implementation](./retry_policies.md). There are no plans for
+re-creating its functionality. You do not have to update a code to migrate to new policy.
+
+#### IdempotenceAwareRetryPolicy
+
+This policy was deprecated in the DataStax driver, and for this reason was removed from this driver.

+- Default retry policy (used if no other policy is specified):
+
+    It retries when there is a high chance that it might help.
+    This policy is based on the one in [DataStax Java Driver](https://docs.datastax.com/en/developer/java-driver/4.11/manual/core/retries/index.html). The behavior is the same.
+
+- Falthrough retry policy:
+
+    Never retries, returns errors straight to the user. Useful for debugging
