The last set of API breakages we introduced in Hector were done with the intention of completely encapsulating Thrift. It was not a decision we made lightly as we knew it would kneecap a lot of people on their upgrade attempts.
However, swallowing this bitter pill when we did has allowed us to offer a stable, type-safe and protocol abstacted API while keeping pace with cassandra and completely refactoring our internals. As with any open source project, there are still some warts but we have an active community with a lot of mail list traffic, documentation and examples. Further, the most recent release of Hector is available on Maven Central (http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/me/prettyprint/) and can thus be added to any maven project (or ant project using the right plugins) with very minimal configuration.
