Return data to a Cassandra ColumnFamily

Here's an example Keyspace / ColumnFamily setup that works with this returner:

    create keyspace salt;
    use salt;
    create column family returns
      with key_validation_class='UTF8Type'
      and comparator='UTF8Type'
      and default_validation_class='UTF8Type';

Required python modules: pycassa

> To use the cassandra returner, append '--return cassandra' to the salt command. ex:

> > salt '*' test.ping --return cassandra

salt.returners.cassandra_return.prep_jid(nocache=False, passed_jid=None)
