I like it too, but it pretty much requires that you have a complete Cassandra tree around (you need config, scripts, and both run and build deps), and obviously it needs to have been built. This is how the JDBC driver was setup when it was moved out of tree and at least a couple of people (yourself included I believe), found it to be less-than-friendly. If it looks like I'm trying to steer the discussion away from this option, that's why. -- Eric Evans Acunu | http://www.acunu.com | @acunu
