In your example is a little unclear.
If you are writing to a single row and creating columns with user names. Then
when you read all the columns for row 1 you will get columns called Dan and Ken.
If you are writing to the same column, let's say called user, then *if* they
are send with the same time stamp the greater value when compared by bytes will
be used. Ken in this case.
If you app has sections that are highly concurrent try to design them away, or
use a locking mechanism outside of casandra, or use another DB.
Hope that helps.
