Description

While the 0.6.X api was "ugly" in terms of method signatures, it did allow you to use the same client to query multiple keyspaces without having to call set_keyspace(String). I totally dislike set_keyspace but I know the thrift API is definitely not changing.

The following command sequence is three RPC operations.

select * from cf;
use otherkeyspace;
select * from othercf;

CQL should allow us to do:

select * from keyspace1.cf;
select * from keyspace2.cf;

This will make the connection pool management on the client much easier.
