Folks- I released a grails plugin that gives access to Cassandra. Its available at github (http://github.com/wolpert/grails-cassandra) and through the normal grails plugin distribution. Its pretty basic right now but I wanted to see if someone familiar with Cassandra and grails could test it. (At this point, I'm only wrapping the get/set of specific column values, with or without a supercolumnfamily) Please check it out and see if a) it installs and b) you can configure it to connect to your cassandra instance. Plus, and recommendations on directions you may want to see, please let me know.
