Jacek Lewandowski commented on CASSANDRA-18798:
-----------------------------------------------
[~henrik.ingo] I think you are focused on timestamps but timestamps is not the
problem which causes incorrect order of items in the list. It is the cell path
content, which is populated with timeuuid collected too early. Therefore, I'm
afraid that manipulating timestamps will gives us nothing - cell path needs to
be populated at the application time.

> Processes process 6 and process 7 are appending the values 553 and 455
> respectively. 455 succeeded and a read by process 5 confirms that. But then
> also 553 is appended and a read by process 1 confirms that as well, however
> it sees 553 before 455.
> process 5 reads [... 852 352 455] where as process 1 reads [... 852 352 553
> 455] and the latter order is returned in subsequent reads as well.
> [~blambov] suggested that one reason for that behavior could be the way how
> unfrozen lists are updated. The backing datatype is a _kind of a map_ which
> uses insertion timestamps as indexes which are used to sort the list when the
> list is composed from chunks from various sources/sstables before being
> returned to the client.
> In such a case it indeed can happen, that process 5 reads [... 852 352 455]
> but later process 1 reads [... 852 352 553 455] because 553 has been
> _appended_ with an earlier timestamp than 455 but it has been _committed_
> with a later timestamp.
> Now with Accord we have the timestamp _of the transaction_ at hand. Could
> Accord use that for the index instead? Which would lead to the correct
> behavior? The value 553 has been appended after 455 and using the transaction
> id/timestamp as the list index would place it properly in the underlying map,
> wouldn't it?
> Steps to reproduce:
>
> {code:java}
> git clone https://github.com/datastax/accordclient.git
> git checkout append-to-list-index
> lein run --list-append -t 10 -r 1,2,3,4,5 -n 1000 -H <host-ips> -s `date
> +%s%N` > test-la.edn
