Jonathan Ellis reassigned CASSANDRA-2473: ----------------------------------------- Assignee: Pavel Yaskevich IMO the most natural way to express this is to start to allow the syntax UPDATE foo SET X = X + N WHERE key = K; (for counter column X) The alternatives would be to represent it as a procedure call: SELECT increment(foo, K, X, N); I don't like that much though, since it's a semantic mismatch (there is no actual function named increment involved). I'd rather save that for when we actually introduce functions/stored procedures. > CQL support for counters > ------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-2473 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2473 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: API, Core > Reporter: Eric Evans > Assignee: Pavel Yaskevich > Fix For: 1.0 > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
