Neophytos, you're still around?  You need to write a blog post about
what you've been up to. :)

Hi Vijay,

I was planning to release the code (C++) but I never got to finish it. 
It's also based on an older version of Cassandra. Having said that, I'm 
not sure if the following has already been published on the list:

http://github.com/tjake/Lucandra

Best wishes,
Neophytos
