From JAVA-1112:
With DSP-8793, DSE is going to use the keyspace from the native protocol options and not use the "graph-name" key of the custom payload, to determine the graph name since a graph is now closely tied to a keyspace. So we can now re-use the driver's keyspace native protocol instead of using the custom payload option.
We're not doing this because it takes away functionality. See DSP ticket for discussion.
