Sylvain Lebresne commented on CASSANDRA-1072:
---------------------------------------------

I would still made a few changes to this interface:

# CounterUpdate is lacking for batch_add, a CounterMutation should be a 
CounterUpdate or a Deletion.
# And since we don't want to expose timestamps to the client for counters, we 
should probably have 
a specific CounterDeletion struct with no timestamp. For the same reason the 
timestamp in remove_counter
should be removed too. 

About the deletion/remove, as it turns out it doesn't really work and probably 
never will, in that if new increments
follow too closely a remove, the remove could be ignored. I'm fine with keeping 
deletions as it (it's still useful, if only to remove definitively a counter) 
with a documentation explaining the limitation. But knowing it has limitation, 
we could also decide to keep removes restricted to the remove_counter function 
and not including it in batch updates. In which case we can get rid of 
CounterMutation altogether (and avoid creating a new CounterDeletion struct).
