If new to cassandra, how it achieves its goals etc., I would recommend going with the "raw" thrift API to start with, until you get a good understanding of which API calls there are and how they work. I am sure there are nicer APIs, but they also somewhat hide some of the complexity, that I think one needs to understand, to make good decisions on how to use cassandra properly.
