------------------------------------------------------------------
the latest auth patch, as suggested on cassandra-users, offers just one method:
void login(String keyspace, Map<String, String> credentials)
The AllowAllAuthenticator, as before, simply allows any login and is intended
to show the default usage.
The patch is based on a 2009-12-29 checkout. It also fixes the Thrift
constructors by introducing a ThriftGlue convenience factory class, which IMHO
is the best way to keep source code concise if the optional parameters can't be
specified inline.
The ConsistencyLevel class is passed further down after the CassandraServer
interface as an int currently. We may want to pass it as an enum everywhere
instead.
Finally, I made a few style fixes, where return or continue were used in the if
clause, so the else was redundant.
