Description

The ColumnFamilyInputFormat class only allows a single initial node to be specified through the cassandra.thrift.address configuration property. The configuration should support a list of nodes in order to account for the possibility that the initial node becomes unavailable.

By contrast, the RingCache class used by the ColumnFamilyRecordWriter reads the exact same cassandra.thrift.address property but splits its value on commas to allow multiple initial nodes to be specified.
