The cli using microsecond precision your client might be using something else and the insert with lower timestamps are dropped.

Everything seems to be working fine - my thrift client can add/retrieve/delete/add back columns as expected... until I manually deleted a column with cassandra-cli. (I was trying to test an error scenario in which my client would discover a missing column and recreated it in the column-family). After I deleted a column from within cassandra-cli manually, my thrift client detected the column of that name missing when it tried to get it. So it tried to recreated a new column with that name along with a bunch of other columns with a batch_mutate call. The call returned normally and the other columns were added/updated, but the one that I manually deleted from cassandra-cli was not added/created in the column family. > > I tried to restart my client and cassandra-cli but it didn't help. It just seemed that my thrift client could no longer add a column with that name! Finally I destroyed and recreated the whole column-family and the problem went away. > > Any idea what I did wrong? > > -Qiaobing > > >
