Hey Chris,
I've been thinking along the same lines. I've got multiple
applications for counters where they'd be a lot faster as a single
operation than as a fetch and update chain. If you implement it, the
key is to have the ability to not just outright increment or
decrement, but also be able to have ops for "retrieve and increment"
and "retrieve and decrement".

Hey,
At Digg we've been thinking about counters in Cassandra. In a lot of
our use cases we need this type of support from a distributed
storage system. Anyone else out there who has such needs as well?
Zookeeper actually has such support and we might use that if we
can't get the support in Cassandra.
