Everyone who uses Cassandra would need to implement Loadbalancing and
failover. Some may do it right and some may do it wrong .Because this
solution is going to be cassandra specific , you may not find any
publicly available libraries to help you out.
Ideally, the client would be a a Thrift API wrapper, which
automatically does Loadbalancing and failover . This definitely may
not be the only solution. But this can be one which may not need any
external RRDNS.
