NodeAutoDiscoverService NullPointerException with hector 1.1-4

Hi all,

I've just upgraded to hector 1.1-4 from 1.1-3 (Cassandra 1.2.5), and I'm getting this exception from the NodeAutoDiscoverService:

[Hector.me.prettyprint.cassandra.connection.NodeAutoDiscoverService-1] ERROR - Discovery Service failed attempt to connect CassandraHost

java.lang.NullPointerException
	at me.prettyprint.cassandra.connection.NodeDiscovery.discoverNodes(NodeDiscovery.java:79)

Looks to me that when calling getOrCreateCluster for the first time, it tries to create a new thrift cluster, which tries to create a new HConnectionManager, which tries to create a new NodeAutoDiscoverService, which tries to create a new NodeDiscovery. 
However, at that point the new cluster is still not added to the clusters list... so in NodeDiscovery, the call to HFactory.getCluster(connectionManager.getClusterName()) returns null.
It doesn't happen on 1.1-3

Did anyone encounter this ? bug ? 

I would appreciate any help..

Thanks,
Asaf.
