No, but you do need a quorum of nodes. http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cassandra/2.0/cassandra/dml/dml_config_consistency_c.html
SERIAL A write must be written conditionally to the commit log and memory table on a quorum of replica nodes. Used to achievelinearizable consistency<http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cassandra/2.0/cassandra/dml/dml_tunable_consistency_c.html#concept_ds_f4h_hwx_zj>for lightweight transactions by preventing unconditional updates.
