http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ClientOptions I am not sure that the Thrift one is being maintained still and it seems not to be the recommended route any longer. Otherwise the work involved will be to make a C client library first before developing postfix dictionary code. There is a Beta C++ library, but I'm not sure if and how it could be linked and called from a C program: https://github.com/datastax/cpp-driver John
