I have to agree with this. Docs & tutorials that highlight the differences from relational modeling are probably going to be *far* more useful than changes to names (in the API or in the code). IMHO articles like http://blog.evanweaver.com/articles/2009/07/06/up-and-running-with-cassandra/ will be far more useful than a name change, and perhaps no simpler/easier after a name change.
