Hector test example not working on Cassandra 0.7.4

I have set up my single node Cassandra 0.7.4 and started the service with bin/cassandra -f. Now I am trying to use the Hector API (v. 0.7.0) to manage the DB. The Cassandra CLI works fine and I can create keyspaces and so on.

I tried to run the test example and开发者_如何学JAVA create a single keyspace:

Cluster cluster = HFactory.getOrCreateCluster("TestCluster",
                new CassandraHostConfigurator("localhost:9160"));

Keyspace keyspace = HFactory.createKeyspace("Keyspace1", cluster);

But all I get is this:

2011-04-14 22:20:27,469 [main      ] INFO 
me.prettyprint.cassandra.connection.CassandraHostRetryService

Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks

When you connect via the CLI, do you specify "-h localhost -p 9160"?

Can you actually do stuff on the command line with the above?

The error from HThriftClient indicates it could not connect to the Cassandra Daemon.

FTR, you would get responses much faster via hector-users@googlegroups.com

If you are on a linux machine, try starting up your cassandra server by this command:

/bin$ ./cassandra start -f 

Then for the cli, use this command:

./cassandra-cli -h {hostname}/9160.

Then make sure that the configures are ok.
