Opens a client transport to a thrift server.
Example:
TTransport transport = clientTransportFactory.openTransport(address, port);
Cassandra.Iface client = new Cassandra.Client(new BinaryProtocol(transport));

Params:
host – fully qualified hostname of the server
port – RPC port of the server
Throws:
Exception – implementation defined; usually throws TTransportException or IOException
        if the connection cannot be established
Returns:
open and ready to use transport/**
