Quite interesting - thanks for the share. It so happens that on the Cassandra IRC channel there is some heavy recommendation happening of Datastax drivers, which I believe was forked from this project (or is perhaps the commercial version of this project).

Reading some of the recent comments here, I got the impression that creating Lua bindings for libraries in C++, isn't as simple or straightforward as bindings for libraries written in C. I hope one of the experts creates a Lua lib out of this.
