Could you provide some more information and/or file a ticket on =
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA

You are somewhat exploring new territory, if you can ask raise some =
specific issues on the user list or in tickets you'll probably get the =
help you need. And the project will be all the better.=20

Thanks
