Hi All,
Many thanks for the responses. You helped enormously. I was in fact talking
to the wrong port. It should have been 9160 rather than 8888.
I just assumed that the port the cassandra server displayed when starting up
was the one I should be talking to, my bad. I should have read the config
file.
Once I have something working I'll write a new post back with a couple of
examples here to help future newbies on how to talk to cassandra from
erlang, since those examples are not present on the cassandra/thrift wiki as
far as I can tell.
Thanks,
Jason
