My team prefers Pelops. https://github.com/s7/scale7-pelops
It's had failover since 0.7. http://groups.google.com/group/scale7/browse_thread/thread/19d441b7cd000de0/624257fe4f94a037 With respect to avoiding writing marshaling code yourself, I agree with the OP that that is rather lacking with these libraries themselves. DataNucleus was recommended to me as a framework with the right abstractions to use Cassandra as a JPA persistence provider, but I haven't had the time to investigate.
