According to his docs, he says you need Cassandra >= 0.5.0. I guess it is possible that the included thrift files are targeted at 0.6, but I don't see the "batch_mutate" method which is part of 0.6. So I'm assuming that it should work fine with 0.5.0.
I have now changed some of those entries in the configs and I have not seen the error in a while. So, it may have simply been that I was trying to do a query which was too large for the configured buffer to handle. For the time being, I would like to stick with 0.5 as it is the "stable" release and we are running this in a production environment.
