Thanks to one of the authors of Titan, an acceptable way is to enable debugging in Cassandra.
You can do this by uncommenting the DEBUG lines in the cassandra log4j-server.properties file, then restarting Cassandra:
log4j.logger.org.apache.cassandra=DEBUG
log4j.logger.org.apache.cassandra.db=DEBUG
log4j.logger.org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageProxy=DEBUG
