For the Docker's official PHP machine:

cd /tmp

apt-get install php-pear php5-dev libgmp-dev libpcre3-dev g++ make cmake libssl-dev openssl

php -r '$files = ["http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/14.04/dependencies/libuv/v1.8.0/libuv_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb", "http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/14.04/dependencies/libuv/v1.8.0/libuv-dev_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb", "http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/14.04/v2.3.0/cassandra-cpp-driver_2.3.0-1_amd64.deb", "http://downloads.datastax.com/cpp-driver/ubuntu/14.04/v2.3.0/cassandra-cpp-driver-dev_2.3.0-1_amd64.deb"]; foreach($files as $file) { copy($file, basename($file)); }'

dpkg -i libuv_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i libuv-dev_1.8.0-1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i cassandra-cpp-driver_2.3.0-1_amd64.deb
dpkg -i cassandra-cpp-driver-dev_2.3.0-1_amd64.deb

pecl install cassandra

echo 'extension=cassandra.so' > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/php-ext-cassandra.ini

Then restart the container (docker-compose restart ~~image~fpm~~).
