java thrift error

[A J]

The following syntax :
import org.apache.cassandra.thrift.*;
.....
.....
ColumnOrSuperColumn col = client.get("count_key".getBytes("UTF-8"),
cp, ConsistencyLevel.QUORUM);


is giving the error:
get(java.nio.ByteBuffer,org.apache.cassandra.thrift.ColumnPath,org.apache.cassandra.thrift.ConsistencyLevel)
in org.apache.cassandra.thrift.Cassandra.Client cannot be applied to
(byte[],org.apache.cassandra.thrift.ColumnPath,org.apache.cassandra.thrift.ConsistencyLevel)


Any idea on how to cast?

Thanks.
