> I was doing performance testing to get off of using batches for our 
> persistence engine, and instead use "async spray" with timestamps. 
> First of all, it seems fairly insane that the USING TIMESTAMP clause is in a 
> different location for INSERT (before WHERE) and the UPDATE (before SET)  and 
> the DELETE (before WHERE) statements... thus is in the middle of the 
> statement for no real apparently good reason, although maybe there is some 
> PostGresql compatibility. 
> This means that if some code produces a large list of statements without the 
> USING TIMESTAMP already in it, because the actual method of execution of a 
> list of statements, which may use batches (if we were grouping by partition 
> key) or not (single statement) may be determined later...
> Then for single statement updates, the statement needs  to properly place the 
> USING TIMESTAMP clause. It would be MUCH EASIER to all a simple append of 
> "USING TIMESTAMP xxx" at the end of the CQL statement.
> BATCH is easier, you just wrap the statements. Pretty basic.
> I have done performance testing with single-statement BATCH USING TIMESTAMP 
> and their performance is awful, worse that "NEVER EVER DO THIS" sync batches 
> with cross-partition updates.
> Can we either allow a USING TIMESTAMP to be at the end of all the mutation 
> statements in the same place, or have a check in the BATCH statement 
> processing to check if its a single statement and reduce it to non-batch 
> execution?
