We are currently using driver:  
`https://github.com/yugabyte/gocql`  
of version `gocql@v0.0.0-20200602185649-ef3952a45ff4`

1. 

Documentation says:  
token aware policy feature is available: `https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/yugabyte/gocql#hdr-Data_center_awareness_and_query_routing`

1. 

Implementation is also available in master branch: `https://github.com/yugabyte/gocql/blob/master/policies.go#L345`

+++

But there is a **little confusion** because, Github issue still exists on this feature(token aware policy): `https://github.com/yugabyte/yugabyte-db/issues/11376`

1. Does [gocql driver](https://github.com/yugabyte/gocql/blob/master/policies.go#L345) support token aware routing of queries?

2. if yes, Which version of gocql needs to be used?
