I have been exploring Cassandra, thrift and hector recently. Very interesting technology. I am still looking for complete examples of code for thrift and hector that exercise and explain the API paramaters, I am also looking for direct API documentation. I found some at the locations below and on the hector site. If there is something more complete please let me know.
