Hi Guys,

Are there any short/long term plans to support UPDATE operations that require 
read-before-write, such as increment on a numeric non-counter column? 
i.e. 

UPDATE CF SET NON_COUNTER_NUMERIC_COLUMN = NON_COUNTER_NUMERIC_COLUMN + 1;

UPDATE CF SET STRING_COLUMN = STRING_COLUMN + "postfix";

etc.

I know this goes against keeping updates idempotent, but there are times you 
need to do these kinds of operations. We currently do things like this in 
client code, but it would be great to be able to this on the server side to 
minimize the chance of race conditions.
