CompositeType for use with 0.7

Is this a lib I can just drop into a 0.7 instance of cassandra and use?  
I'm not sure what to make of the README about not using it with versions 
earlier than 0.8.0-rc1.

https://github.com/riptano/hector-composite

the goal is to start using CompositeTypes in 0.7 (which I can't upgrade 
to 0.8 at the moment), with a seamless transition to 0.8 when I do 
upgrade.  will using this with hector 0.8.x allow this?

It was developed for 0.7x but we then made a few changes so that it
would work with 0.8-rc1 that broke the 0.7 compatibility.  The idea at
the time was to do a 0.7 branch for it but it looks like that never
got checked in.  If you roll back to the previous commit it should
give you a version that works with 0.7.

If your version of Cassandra does not support composite you need to
upgrade, If the server is not aware the column is composite it will not be
able to use them to full effect. You likely will not get the sorting and
slicing capabilities you want.
