Thanks, this client library is really great! It should be included in the
Apache Cassandra Wiki's "High level clients" page (
http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/ClientOptions).
Anyway, here is the code I created (using the cassandra-driver-core Maven
artifact).

Cluster cluster = Cluster.builder().addContactPoints("127.0.0.1").build();
Session session = cluster.connect("graph");
for (Row row : session.execute("SELECT * FROM vertices")) {
System.out.println("id: " + row.getString("id"));
System.out.println("properties: ");
Map<String, String> map = row.getMap("properties", String.class,
String.class);
for (Map.Entry<String, String> entry : map.entrySet()) {
System.out.println("- " + entry.getKey() + ": " + entry.getValue());
}
}
