Has anyone seen this particular NPE before from Cassandra?
This is on 1.0.8. It seems to happen transiently on multiple nodes in my
cluster, every so often, and goes away.

The line in question is (I think) the one below, so it looks like the
column family reference for a row can sometimes be null?
int liveColumnsInRow = row != null ? row.cf.getLiveColumnCount() : 0;
Thanks,
