stuart commented on CASSANDRA-11171:
------------------------------------
Sure, but Ill still incur the cost of reading before writing in the
application. It would be nice if update scripts could be executed on Cassandra
nodes (performed as read before write but without LWT) without the extra hop to
the application layer. Not a big deal, but more of a nice to have.
Cheers,
Stuart

> I realise that currently conditional updates use lightweight transactions to
> provide an atomic check and set operation but that this comes at a non
> trivial performance cost. I have a solution where synchronised access is
> ensured by an external mechanism therefore I don't think paxos would be
> required. It would be nice to be able to run an update command or script that
> could conditionally update without the performance hit. Currently I'd have to
> retrieve each row first at the application level before deciding whether or
> not to perform the update. Would it be possible to add a switch for the
> conditional updates to turn paxos on or off? Thanks.
