Out of curiosity, what version of hadoop are you using with cassandra? I think we are trying 0.20.2 if I remember(I have to ask my guy working on it to be sure). I do remember him saying the cassandra maven dependency was odd in that it is in the older version and not a newer hadoop version.
We are using RandomPartitioner though right now which I have personally used in the past with success. We are in the process of map/reducing to a cassandra with MurmurPartitioner (our real reason to map/reduce is some refactorings in our model though and we just thought we would switch to murmur). Has anyone else used map/reduce with murmur partitioner?

I am using Cassandra 1.2.6 (tried with 1.2.3 as well) and I am trying to read data from cassandra on hadoop using column family input format. I also got the same error using pure astyanax on a test. I am using Murmur3Partitioner and I created the keyspace using Cassandra 1.2.6, there is nothing from prior versions. I created the keyspace with SimpleStrategy and replication factor 1. Here is the exception I am getting: 2013-07-22 21:53:05,824 WARN org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Child (main): Error running child java.lang.RuntimeException: InvalidRequestException(why:Start key's token sorts after end token) at org.apache.cassandra.hadoop.ColumnFamilyRecordReader$WideRowIterator.maybeInit(ColumnFamilyRecordReader.java:453) at org.apache.cassandra.hadoop.ColumnFamilyRecordReader$WideRowIterator.computeNext(ColumnFamilyRecordReader.java:459) at org.apache.cassandra.hadoop.ColumnFamilyRecordReader$WideRowIterator.computeNext(ColumnFamilyRecordReader.java:406) at com.google.common.collect.AbstractIterator.tryToComputeNext(AbstractIterator.java:143) at com.google.common.collect.AbstractIterator.hasNext(AbstractIterator.java:138) at org.apache.cassandra.hadoop.ColumnFamilyRecordReader.getProgress(ColumnFamilyRecordReader.java:103) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask$NewTrackingRecordReader.getProgress(MapTask.java:522) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask$NewTrackingRecordReader.nextKeyValue(MapTask.java:547) at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.MapContext.nextKeyValue(MapContext.java:67) at org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Mapper.run(Mapper.java:143) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask.runNewMapper(MapTask.java:771) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.MapTask.run(MapTask.java:375) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Child$4.run(Child.java:255) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at javax.security.auth.Subject.doAs(Subject.java:396) at org.apache.hadoop.security.UserGroupInformation.doAs(UserGroupInformation.java:1132) at org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Child.main(Child.java:249) Caused by: InvalidRequestException(why:Start key's token sorts after end token) at org.apache.cassandra.thrift.Cassandra$get_paged_slice_result.read(Cassandra.java:14168) at org.apache.thrift.TServiceClient.receiveBase(TServiceClient.java:78) at org.apache.cassandra.thrift.Cassandra$Client.recv_get_paged_slice(Cassandra.java:769) at org.apache.cassandra.thrift.Cassandra$Client.get_paged_slice(Cassandra.java:753) at org.apache.cassandra.hadoop.ColumnFamilyRecordReader$WideRowIterator.maybeInit(ColumnFamilyRecordReader.java:438) ... 16 more 2013-07-22 21:53:05,828 INFO org.apache.hadoop.mapred.Task (main): Runnning cleanup for the task Any hint?
