Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-48:
-----------------------------------------

I'd like to get the "dial up consistency" part in first rather than the other 
way around, since something like that (Zookeeper?) would be useful in other 
situations as well while T&S w/o consistency is not really useful as you point 
out.

> Atomic test-and-set insert operation would be nice: "set value to X but only 
> if the current value is still Y."  This allows a sort of optimistic 
> consistency: perform a GET, then perform test-and-set with the value of that 
> GET as Y.
> I do not think that this requires strong consistency to be useful.
