 You can also register an arbitrary number of beans that implement `DriverConfigLoaderBuilderCustomizer` for more advanced driver customizations.
 The `CqlSession` can be customized with a bean of type `CqlSessionBuilderCustomizer`.
 
+NOTE: If you're using `CqlSessionBuilder` to create multiple `CqlSession` beans, keep in mind the builder is mutable so make sure to inject a fresh copy for each session.

 The following code listing shows how to inject a Cassandra bean:
