Failover with hector 0.7.0-20

[CK]

I am using Hector version 0.7.0-20 with a Cassandra cluster running
0.7.0-rc4 on three nodes. I have a keyspace with replication_factor of
2 and populated a column family with a million keys. I wanted to make
sure failover works with the cluster, so I brought down one of the
cassandra nodes (128.242.246.62) and tried to execute a read query,
but I cannot connect. This is the relevant code (call to
getOrCreateCluster causes it):

CassandraHostConfigurator hostConfigurator = new
CassandraHostConfigurator("128.242.246.60:9160,128.242.246.61:9160,128.242.246.62:9160");
Cluster cluster = HFactory.getOrCreateCluster("Test Cluster",
hostConfigurator);

This is the exception:
Exception in thread "main"
me.prettyprint.hector.api.exceptions.HectorTransportException: Unable

I had tried similar code with Hector 0.6.020 and Cassandra 0.6.8 and
took down one of the nodes, but it worked. Can you help me out?

There have been some minor tweaks to fail-over in recent releases.
Please update to version 0.7.0-22 (you will need to change the
artifactId in maven from "hector" to "hector-core") and let us know if
you still have the same issue.

Thanks, that works.
