I've not looked at thrift = encryption.

Hello,

This way the cluster can be firewalled and therefore = protected, plus you get decent auth/auth right = there.

Would = appreciate any help in this regard. Below are the setup = versions

Cassandra = Version - 0.8.7
Hector - = 0.8.0-2
libthrift jar - = 0.6.1


On a side note, = we have setup internode encryption on the Cassandra server side and = found the documentation for that easily.
