Add a proper retry mechanism for counters in case of failed request
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-2495
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2495
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 0.8
Reporter: Sylvain Lebresne
Contrarily to standard insert, counter increments are not idempotent. As such,
replaying a counter mutation when a TimeoutException occurs could lead to an
over-count. This alone limits the use cases for which counters are a viable
solution, so we should try to come up with a mechanism that allow the replay of
a failed counter mutation without the risk of over-count.
