One thing you might want to look at is the Apache Whirr project (which is
awesome by the way!). It automagically handles spinning up a cluster of
resources on EC2 (or rackspace for that matter), installing and configuring
cassandra, and starting it.
One thing to be aware of if you go this route.
sstableloader.
Hope this helps people. I've written an in depth description of how to do
all this, and can post it if people want, but I'm not sure the etiquette of
posting blog links in the email list.
Thanks,
John

I'm trying to figure out how to use the sstableloader tool. For my test I
have a single node cassandra instance running on my local machine. I have
cassandra running, and validate this by connecting to it with cassandra-cli.
I run sstableloader using the following command:
bin/sstableloader /Us
