Default comparators are provided for UTF8, Bytes, Ascii, Long (i64), and UUID types. - removed colon-delimited strings in thrift api in favor of explicit structs such as ColumnPath, ColumnParent, etc. Also normalized thrift struct and argument naming. - Added columnFamily argument to get_key_range. - Change signature of get_slice to accept starting and ending columns as well as an offset. (This allows use of indexes.) Added "ascending" flag to allow reasonably-efficient reverse scans as well. Removed get_slice_by_range as redundant. - get_key_range operates on one CF at a time - changed `block` boolean on insert methods to ConsistencyLevel enum, with options of NONE, ONE, QUORUM, and ALL. - added similar consistency_level parameter to read methods - column-name-set slice with no names given now returns zero columns instead of all of them.

Cassandra should deploy fine on EC2 now * Much improved infrastructure: the beginnings of a decent test suite ("ant test" for unit tests; "nosetests" for system tests), code coverage reporting, etc. * Expanded node status reporting via JMX * Improved error reporting/logging on both server and client * Reduced memory footprint in default configuration * Combined blocking and non-blocking versions of insert APIs * Added FlushPeriodInMinutes configuration parameter to force flushing of infrequently-updated ColumnFamilies
