Hi Jan,
I guess you are looking for an upstream nginx module to talk to Cassandra in 
place of the C++ client you mentioned.
I did something similar for talking to Sphinx search platform 
(https://github.com/reeteshranjan/sphinx2-nginx-module). There was a C++ 
client; but if you want nginx to control all connections, the whole 
non-blocking I/O etc. you need to really write an upstream module, where all 
socket read/writes are done by core nginx code and you need to provide only 
hooks. Your hooks would perform the request-response protocol with the service 
e.g. Cassandra in your case.
