Aleksey Yeschenko resolved CASSANDRA-7346.
------------------------------------------
Resolution: Not a Problem
> Row deletes use incompatible timestamps on counter column families
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-7346
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7346
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Richard Low
>
> For counters, timestamps are automatically computed to be milliseconds since
> the epoch. For everything else, when not specified manually, they are
> microseconds since the epoch. This means if you delete a counter row,
> subsequent updates are lost unexpectedly.
> I know that deleting counters is not recommended, but that's only because
> deletes and incs don't commute. If you know you have stopped incs, then
> delete, then start again (with some external synchronization) then deleting
> is fine.
