Hi Maifi, This is the expected behaviour for updating a value - the "newest" value always wins in the event of a conflict (e.g. after two partitions converge).
Your use case is that of incrementing counters, which is not something that is easily solved in Cassandra at the moment. There are issues currently logged for counters (and version vectors, which are loosely related): - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1072 - Increment Counters - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-580 - Version Vectors Also, this is really something for the user list (u...@cassandra.apache.org) Regards, Nick
