Is cassandra-thrift-1.1.1.jar the generated code? I see a send() and recv() but I don't see a send(Callback cb) that is typicaly of true asynchronous platforms. Ie. I don't know when to call recv myself obviously if I am trying to make astyanax truly asynchronous.
The reason I ask is we have a 100k row upload that with synchronous 20 threads takes around 30 seconds and with simulation, we predict this would be done in 3 seconds with an asynch api as our threads would not get held up like they do now. I guess we can try to crank it up to 100 threads to get it running a bit faster for now :( :(. Thanks, Dean
