Hector provides load balancing so that requests can be distributed across cluster nodes based on a specified policy, like round robin. Is there anything similar planned for CQL? I see that there is an open issue ( http://code.google.com/a/apache-extras.org/p/cassandra-jdbc/issues/detail?id=41) to add support for pooled connections in cassandra-jdbc.Could load balancing be incorporated into the connection pooling support? I have also started reading up on the CQL transport protocol and am wondering if it does or will provide anything for load balancing.
Thanks - John
