Philip Thompson updated CASSANDRA-8649:
---------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 3.0
> CAS per (partition key + clustering key) and not only per (partition key)
> -------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-8649
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8649
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Dobrin
> Fix For: 3.0
>
>
> Reading the description at
> http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/lightweight-transactions-in-cassandra-2-0 :
> ...
> * The columns updated do NOT have to be the same as the columns in the IF
> clause.
> * Lightweight transactions are restricted to a single partition; this is the
> granularity at which we keep the internal Paxos state. As a corollary,
> transactions in different partitions will never interrupt each other.
> ...
> So my understanding of the above is that if multiple writers for example
> perform CAS inserts (INSERT...IF NOT EXISTS) using the same partition key and
> different clustering keys will interrupt/interfere with each other?
> Is this understanding correct? (my tests seems to confirm it)
> For example if I want to model users from different country/city/area and I
> want to be able to list all the users from a given country ordered by
> (city,area) and also I know that a single cassandra node will be able to
> store all the users from a given country but I need to partition users from
> different countries because a single cassandra node will not be enough:
> CREATE COLUMNFAMILY user (
> country text,
> city text,
> area text,
> id text,
> json text,
> version bigint,
> PRIMARY KEY ((country), city, area, id)
> );
> Where id is the user id and json is a JSON serialized user object (an
> aggregate) containing more information about the user.
> I want to be able to CAS insert many users into the same country concurrently
> using
> INSERT INTO user(country, city, area, id, json, version) VALUES
> ('x',...) IF NOT EXISTS;
>
> and be able to CAS update users from the same country concurrently:
> UPDATE user SET json='{...}',version=18 WHERE country='x' AND city='y'
> AND area='z' AND id='123' IF version=17;
>
> As I understand this will not be efficient because all the above concurrent
> statements will have to be "ordered" by the same paxos instance/state per
> country 'x'? (and trying it results in a lot of WriteTimeoutException-s)
> If yes - can we made paxos to support IF statements per column/cell?
> By cell/column I mean all the underlying persistent state that is behind the
> compound primary key (partition key + clustering key) - in the above example
> the state is json and version
> the partition key is the country
> and the clustering key is (city, area, id)
> (
> I'm stating it explicitly as I'm not completely sure whether this is a single
> cell or double cells underneath at the storage engine, references used:
> http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/cql3-for-cassandra-experts
> http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/does-cql-support-dynamic-columns-wide-rows
> )
> In other words is it possible to make CAS per (partition key + clustering
> key) and not only per (partition key)?
