Add INSERT support to CQL
-------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2409
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2409
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: API
Reporter: Jonathan Ellis
Fix For: 0.8
There are two reasons to support INSERT:
- It helps new users feel comfortable (everyone's first statement will be to
try to INSERT something, we should make that a positive experience instead of
slapping them)
- Even though it is synonymous with update it is still useful in your code to
have both to help communicate intent, similar to choosing good variable names
The only downside is explaining how INSERT isn't a "true" insert because it
doesn't error out if the row already exists -- but we already have to explain
that same concept for UPDATE; the cognitive load is extremely minor.
