Alain RODRIGUEZ commented on CASSANDRA-4775:
--------------------------------------------
{quote}Remove the replicate_on_write option and switch to a locked/retryable
RMW.{quote}
What will this imply for the final user ? No more over-counts due to retry, no
more read on write ? Any disadvantage switching to those locked RMW ?
Counters are very useful, but also really hard to handle because of their
specific characteristics. I hope that some of them will be removed here.
{quote}This (+some optimizations) is what we are going for in 2.1, and will be
ready soon-ish (returning back to this after one issue).{quote}
How is this going ?

> Fix For: 2.1

>
> The existing partitioned counters remain a source of frustration for most
> users almost two years after being introduced. The remaining problems are
> inherent in the design, not something that can be fixed given enough
> time/eyeballs.
> Ideally a solution would give us
> - similar performance
> - less special cases in the code
> - potential for a retry mechanism
