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


> I have a question after viewing code:

> 1). Can you please explain to me why you do so if method is already declared

> throw those exceptions (it breaks exception flow...)?
> 
> {code}
> try
> {
> StorageProxy.mutate(rowMutations, consistency);

StorageProxy.mutate() throws Thrift's version of UnavailableException, and 
java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException, but the Avro exception types need to be 
propagated up.

> updateStatement returns [UpdateStatement expr]

Is this for aesthetics, or some other reason?

If it's just aesthetics, then for what it's worth, I've avoided breaking out 
parts of a statement unless they were to be reused elsewhere. I've been doing 
it this way because I thought it was more readable (particularly for people 
unfamiliar with antlr) to see the entire statement composed in one place.  But, 
I realize that's probably entirely subjective and I'm open to being convinced 
otherwise.

> CQL specification and implementation for data manipulation.
> This corresponds to the following RPC methods:
> * insert()
> * batch_mutate() (writes, not deletes)
> The initial check-in to trunk/ uses a syntax that looks like:
> {code:SQL}
> UPDATE <CF> [USING CONSISTENCY.<LVL>] WITH ROW(<key>, COLUMN(<name>, 
> <value>)[, COLUMN(...)])[ AND ROW(...)];
> {code}
> Where:
> * <CF> is the column family name.
> * Rows are a parenthesized expressions with comma separated arguments for a 
> key and one or more columns.
> * Columns are a parenthesized expressions with comma separated arguments for 
> the name and value (timestamp is inaccessible).
> What is still undone:
> * Complete test coverage
> And of course, all of this is still very much open to further discussion.
