Hector is a java client for cassandra, see http://github.com/rantav/hector , http://prettyprint.me/2010/02/23/hector-a-java-cassandra-client/ , http://prettyprint.me/2010/03/03/load-balancing-and-improved-failover-in-hector/
Over the past few weeks several contributors and myself added features and since I get asked about it a few times a day I thought I might post a public update. Versions: With the help of few folks (thanks Arin and other folks) hector now supports cassandra 0.5.0, 0.5.1 and 0.6.0-beta. See http://wiki.github.com/rantav/hector/versions JMX improvements: I added a number of jmx counters such as: read/sec or writes/sec, max read time in the last 10 seconds, mean write time in the last 10 seconds, stddev and others. More here http://wiki.github.com/rantav/hector/jmx Small bugs fixed. Nothing really serious so far, but a few small glitches, see http://github.com/rantav/hector/issues/closed C# clone: Kris and Matt have created a C# clone at http://github.com/mattvv/hectorsharp. Thanks a lot guys! I'm told this is almost ready. Spring and JNDI: This is actually in the works (thanks Nathan and Peter, and sorry for slow response...) but we'll soon have better support for Spring and JNDI Wiki updates: I've added a few sections to the wiki http://wiki.github.com/rantav/hector/ My rule of thumb is if I get asked something more than once it deserves a page. However, I have a backlog... so not all pages are done and I'd appreciate help - if you have questions or you're willing to contribute to the wiki feel free to step in. Contributions are welcome. github is developer friendly, just fork me. If you plan a longer term involvement I'll be happy to get more committers in.
