Authentication provider not set exception when i pass Cassandra credentials

[raghavbn]

Authentication fails when I try to connect to Cassandra using username and password.

var apollo = new Apollo(
{
hosts: ['127.0.0.1'],
keyspace: 'goodkeyspace',
username: 'cassandra',
password: 'cassandra'
}
);

Throws an "Authentication provider not set" exception from the 'cassandra-driver' side.

I have currently added the below change in _get_system_client() of apollo-cassandra/libs/apollo.js file to make it work.

var authProvider = new cql.auth.PlainTextAuthProvider('cassandra', 'cassandra');
temp_connection['authProvider'] = authProvider;
return new cql.Client(temp_connection);

Do we need to explicitly set this in the apollo-cassandra node module,OR am i missing something in my configuration?

Node cassandra driver seems to support only PlainTextAuthProvider
http://docs.datastax.com/en/developer/nodejs-driver/2.1/common/drivers/reference/clientOptions.html
and
http://docs.datastax.com/en/drivers/nodejs/2.1/module-auth.html
so it seems we have to support only this kind of authentication.
We have to write test anyway
