DOAN DuyHai commented on CASSANDRA-11171:
-----------------------------------------
bq. I have a solution where synchronised access is ensured by an external
mechanism therefore I don't think paxos would be required
Can you please elaborate about this *external mechanism* ? I'm curious to know
how it works and how it would grant better perf than the current Paxos
> conditional update without paxos

> I realise that currently conditional updates use lightweight transactions to
> provide an atomic check and set operation but that this comes at a non
> trivial performance cost. I have a solution where synchronised access is
> ensured by an external mechanism therefore I don't think paxos would be
> required. It would be nice to be able to run an update command or script that
> could conditionally update without the performance hit. Currently I'd have to
> retrieve each row first at the application level before deciding whether or
> not to perform the update. Would it be possible to add a switch for the
> conditional updates to turn paxos on or off? Thanks.
