---------------------------------------------------------------------

I read through your note on the v3 marker strategy.  It sounds reasonable and 
does address the concerns that I raised, earlier.

I think it's worth it for you to highlight the potential drawbacks.  The three 
that seem to stick out the most are:
1) it requires 1-2 reads in a synchronized code path, which doesn't gel w/ 
cassandra's write-optimized design,
2) over-counts are repaired in an eventually consistent manner, and
3) UUIDs are only maintained for a configurable TTL.

The above aren't showstoppers.  However, anyone interested in using UUIDs to 
track updates should be aware of their limitations + trade-offs.
