Christian Spriegel commented on CASSANDRA-13086:
------------------------------------------------

[~ifesdjeen]:
I did not know that the value can be null. I think this is what is happening in 
my case:
# My application tries to delete with a condition, which fails due to a 
WriteTimeoutException
# My application retries the same delete operation
# Cassandra returns a wasapplied=false and no value column, because the last 
delete was already successful

I find that behaviour a bit strange, as the datastax-java-driver does not give 
me any method to check whether a column exists or not. It gives me a way to 
check for null values though.

My question now would be: Wouldn't it be better if Cassandra would return a 
null value instead of not including the column?

> The query the application was doing:
> delete from "Lock" where lockname=:lockname and id=:id if value=:value;
> I did some debugging recently and was able to track these ResultSets to 
> StorageProxy.cas() to the "CAS precondition does not match current values {}" 
> return statement.
> I saw this happening with Cassandra 3.0.10 and earlier versions.
