Cassandra + Ruby

Hi,
   I am new to cassandra and was trying to achieve some simple
operations like inserting data into cassandra. I am using cassandra gem
to achieve this.

client = Cassandra.new('tags_logs', 'ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx.com:9160')

client.disable_node_auto_discovery!

client.add_column_family(Cassandra::ColumnFamily.new(:keyspace =>
'tags_logs', :name => 'impressions'))

client.insert(:impressions, "10", {'screen_name' => "john"}) #this
worked fine

client.get(:impressions, "10") gives me => {"screen_name"=>"john"} as
expected.

Now when I try to do the following command it gives me error

client.insert(:impressions, "10", {"123_sdfsfd_sdfsdf" => {"filename" =>
"x", "line_count" => 10}})

This line throws an error -
