I found hector is not a good design.
1. We cannot create multiple threads (each thread have a connection to
cassandra server) to one cassandra server.
As we known, usually, cassandra client should be multiple-threads to
achieve good throughput.
2. The implementation is too fat.
3. Introduce traditional RDBMS habit into Cassandra is not a good idea.
