Question about TimeUUIDType

[Lucas Di Pentima]

Hello,

I'm using Cassandra 0.6.1 with ruby library

I want to log events on a CF like this:

Events = { // CF CompareWith: TimeUUIDType
    SomeEventID : { // Row
        uuid_from_unix_timestamp : event_data,
        ...
    }
}

I receive event data with a UNIX timestamp (nr of seconds passed since some 
date on 1970), so I would do something like:

db = Cassandra.new('Keyspace')
db.insert('Events', SomeEventID, {SimpleUUID:UUID.new(Time.at(unix_timestamp)} 
=> event_data)

My first question was: What happens if I have more than one event at the same 
second? I tried this on irb console and checked that TimeUUIDs are different.

So, my second question is: How different TimeUUIDs generated from the same UNIX 
timestamp are going to be ordered in the ColumnFamily?

Thanks in advance!!
