			<description>&#60;p&#62;In your query, since you have not specified the cassandra host and port, it will use the default host which is 'localhost' and default port which is '9160'. Would you please run ./nodetool -h localhost ring on the server where you run hive and post the result here? &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The error message is misleading, it should be 'connection failed.' This would be resolved in the beta-2 release. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thanks.
&#60;/p&#62;</description>
