Hadoop Job throws NullPointerException in FBUtilities.java
===

I am getting a NullPointerException when trying to start my hadoop job with access to Cassandra. Here comes the stack trace:

I am running hadoop version 1.0.3 and cassandra version 1.1.2.

Any help is highly appreciated as I have no idea where to start.

Thanks alot!
