It is a shame the code has been in production in numerous sites for over a year now, and is the most voted for hive issue, but has not landed into a release, thus confusing everyone.
Look here for the latest code. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4131 On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 4:19 AM, Szymon DÄ…browski <szymon.dabrow...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've been trying to see if that's possible to combine Hive with > Cassandra.
