Add a proper retry mechanism for counters in case of failed request -------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2495 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2495 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Improvement Components: Core Affects Versions: 0.8 Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne Contrarily to standard insert, counter increments are not idempotent. As such, replaying a counter mutation when a TimeoutException occurs could lead to an over-count. This alone limits the use cases for which counters are a viable solution, so we should try to come up with a mechanism that allow the replay of a failed counter mutation without the risk of over-count. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
