Description

I needed to write a non-MR component that runs against a Cassandra database created by (and primarily maintained through) nutchgora, which involves lookup by URL key. Using Cassandra 1.0.6 so decided to upgrade to latest gora in trunk (0.2-incubating). Found that CassandraStore.get() is an empty implementation. Initial workaround was to use Hector's template API directly, but having a functional get() makes the client code more readable.

Attaching patch. Would appreciate it if it was applied so its available for the next major release.
