All Superinterfaces:

Request
```
public interface PrepareRequest
extends Request
```
A request to prepare a CQL query.
Driver clients should rarely have to deal directly with this type, it's used internally by Session's prepare methods. However a RetryPolicy implementation might use it if it needs a custom behavior for prepare requests.
A client may also provide their own implementation of this interface to customize which attributes are propagated when preparing a simple statement; see SyncCqlSession.prepare(SimpleStatement) for more explanations.

- Field Detail
  - SYNC
```
static final GenericType<PreparedStatement> SYNC
```
    The type returned when a CQL statement is prepared synchronously.
    Most users won't use this explicitly. It is needed for the generic execute method (Session.execute(Request, GenericType)), but CQL statements will generally be prepared with one of the driver's built-in helper methods (such as SyncCqlSession.prepare(SimpleStatement)).
  - ASYNC
```
static final GenericType<CompletionStage<PreparedStatement>> ASYNC
```
    The type returned when a CQL statement is prepared asynchronously.
    Most users won't use this explicitly. It is needed for the generic execute method (Session.execute(Request, GenericType)), but CQL statements will generally be prepared with one of the driver's built-in helper methods (such as AsyncCqlSession.prepareAsync(SimpleStatement).
- Method Detail
  - getQuery
```
@NonNull
String getQuery()
```
    The CQL query to prepare.
  - isIdempotent
```
@NonNull
default Boolean isIdempotent()
```
    Whether the request is idempotent; that is, whether applying the request twice leaves the database in the same state.
    This is used internally for retries and speculative executions: if a request is not idempotent, the driver will take extra care to ensure that it is not sent twice (for example, don't retry if there is the slightest chance that the request reached a coordinator).
    Note that this refers to the prepare query itself, not to the bound statements that will be created from the prepared statement (see areBoundStatementsIdempotent()).
    
    Specified by:
    
    isIdempotent in interface Request
    
    Returns:
    
    a boolean value, or null to use the default value defined in the configuration.

    DefaultDriverOption.REQUEST_DEFAULT_IDEMPOTENCE
  - getExecutionProfileNameForBoundStatements
```
@Nullable
String getExecutionProfileNameForBoundStatements()
```
    The name of the execution profile to use for the bound statements that will be created from the prepared statement.
    Note that this will be ignored if getExecutionProfileForBoundStatements() returns a non-null value.
  - getExecutionProfileForBoundStatements
```
@Nullable
DriverExecutionProfile getExecutionProfileForBoundStatements()
```
    The execution profile to use for the bound statements that will be created from the prepared statement.
  - getRoutingKeyspaceForBoundStatements
```
CqlIdentifier getRoutingKeyspaceForBoundStatements()
```
    The routing keyspace to use for the bound statements that will be created from the prepared statement.
  - getRoutingKeyForBoundStatements
```
ByteBuffer getRoutingKeyForBoundStatements()
```
    The routing key to use for the bound statements that will be created from the prepared statement.
  - getRoutingTokenForBoundStatements
```
Token getRoutingTokenForBoundStatements()
```
    The routing key to use for the bound statements that will be created from the prepared statement.
    If it's not null, it takes precedence over getRoutingKeyForBoundStatements().
  - getCustomPayloadForBoundStatements
```
@NonNull
Map<String,ByteBuffer> getCustomPayloadForBoundStatements()
```
    Returns the custom payload to send alongside the bound statements that will be created from the prepared statement.
  - areBoundStatementsIdempotent
```
@Nullable
Boolean areBoundStatementsIdempotent()
```
    Whether bound statements that will be created from the prepared statement are idempotent.
    This follows the same semantics as isIdempotent().
  - getTimeoutForBoundStatements
```
@Nullable
Duration getTimeoutForBoundStatements()
```
    The timeout to use for the bound statements that will be created from the prepared statement. If the value is null, the default value will be used from the configuration.
  - getPagingStateForBoundStatements
```
ByteBuffer getPagingStateForBoundStatements()
```
    The paging state to use for the bound statements that will be created from the prepared statement.
  - getPageSizeForBoundStatements
```
int getPageSizeForBoundStatements()
```
    The page size to use for the bound statements that will be created from the prepared statement. If the value is 0 or negative, the default value will be used from the configuration.
  - getConsistencyLevelForBoundStatements
```
@Nullable
ConsistencyLevel getConsistencyLevelForBoundStatements()
```
    The consistency level to use for the bound statements that will be created from the prepared statement or null to use the default value from the configuration.
  - getSerialConsistencyLevelForBoundStatements
```
@Nullable
ConsistencyLevel getSerialConsistencyLevelForBoundStatements()
```
    The serial consistency level to use for the bound statements that will be created from the prepared statement or null to use the default value from the configuration.
  - areBoundStatementsTracing
```
boolean areBoundStatementsTracing()
```
    Whether bound statements that will be created from the prepared statement are tracing.
