You can use TimeUUID data type and provide the value yourself from client side.
The Java driver offers an utility class com.datastax.driver.core.utils.UUIDs and the method timeBased() to generate the TimeUUID. The precision is only guaranteed up to 100 nano seconds. So you can have possibly 10k distincts values for 1 millsec. For your requirement of 20k per sec, it should be enough.
