I'm probably the only person using JRuby + Hector.  This ended up
being a big win since to get high performance with Cassandra you
either need many clients or a multi-threaded client and JRuby is fully
threaded/supports native threads.

The downside of being the only person doing it is trying to debug
things.  I'm not a Java guy by any means so going down this path has
added extra complexity and occasional JRuby specific bugs (mostly on
the Rails side, not Hector/Cassandra which has been pretty rock solid
so far in my testing).

I basically wrote my own custom ORM on top of Hector.  It's not AR
compliant or anything like that and pretty application specific.
Mostly it just tries to simplify the Hector API.
