#5633 was actually closed because the static columns feature (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6561) which has been
checked in to the 2.0 branch but is not yet part of a release (it will be
in 2.0.6).
That feature will let you update multiple rows within a single partition by
doing a CAS write based on a static column shared by all rows within the
partition.
Example extracted from the ticket:
CREATE TABLE foo (
x text,
y bigint,
t bigint static,
z bigint,
PRIMARY KEY (x, y) );
insert into foo (x,y,t, z) values ('a', 1, 1, 10);
insert into foo (x,y,t, z) values ('a', 2, 2, 20);
select * from foo;
x | y | t | z
---+---+---+----
a | 1 | 2 | 10
a | 2 | 2 | 20
(Note that both values of "t" are 2 because it is static)
begin batch update foo set z = 1 where x = 'a' and y = 1; update foo set z
= 2 where x = 'a' and y = 2 if t = 4; apply batch;
[applied] | x | y | t
-----------+---+------+---
False | a | null | 2
(Both updates failed to apply because there was an unmet conditional on one
of them)
select * from foo;
x | y | t | z
---+---+---+----
a | 1 | 2 | 10
a | 2 | 2 | 20
begin batch update foo set z = 1 where x = 'a' and y = 1; update foo set z
= 2 where x = 'a' and y = 2 if t = 2; apply batch;
[applied]
-----------
True
(both updates succeeded because the check on t succeeded)
select * from foo;
x | y | t | z
---+---+---+---
a | 1 | 2 | 1
a | 2 | 2 | 2
Hope this helps.
