-------------------------------------------------------------------

No, sorry, it's just that with the word_count, there is a java program that 
needs to be written for the map reduce anyway, so I could put the configuration 
information into the config helper for that case.

For the pig stuff, all that's needed is the CassandraStorage file - which is 
probably going to move into core.  Other than that it's just relying on 
libraries and you get to run pig scripts or the pig shell - no other java 
programming needed.  So for that, it's either that we need to use the 
configuration file for cassandra that's already there - based on the static 
initialization of the vars in DatabaseDescriptor, or we have to create a 
mechanism to configure it.

Does that make more sense?

> Requiring the Hadoop job to contain a copy of the Cassandra configuration 
> file is clunky and error-prone.  Instead, the Hadoop job should get an IP and 
> port to contact for the range map and for CF metadata (with 
> describe_keyspace).
