The signature of insert() is:
insert(String keyspace,
String key,
ColumnPath column_path,
byte[] value,
long timestamp,
ConsistencyLevel consistency_level)
So to store comments in a time-series manner use a TimeUUID *encoded to
a byte array* (byte[]) for the column attribute of column_path, with the
comment itself as the value (also as a byte[]).
