Is there any reason to use the WRITETIME function on non-counter columns?
I'm using CQL statements via the thrift protocol and get a Timestamp returned with each column. I'm pretty sure select a, writetime(a) from b where u = 1 is unnecessary for me. Unless a is a counter. I guess my real question is.. What, if any, is the difference between selecting writetime(column) and just looking at the Timestamp of a selected column. Thanks, Chris
