Edward Capriolo commented on CASSANDRA-6147:
--------------------------------------------
I do not think this would break anything. Anything currently out there must be
setting the timestamp explicitly. Anything not setting the timestamp is just
getting 0. Users quickly find out what happens when two inserts have the same 0
timestamp
> Break timestamp ties for thrift-ers

>
> Thrift users are still forced to generate timestamps on the client side.
> Currently the way the thrift bindings are generated users are forced to
> supply timestamps. There are two solutions I see.
> * -1 as timestamp means "generate on the server side"
> This is a breaking change, for those using -1 as a timestamp (which should
> effectively be no one.
> * Prepare yourself....
> Our thrift signatures are wrong, you can't overload methods in thrift
> thrift.get(byte [], byte[], ts)
> should REALLY be changed to
> GetRequest g = new GetRequest()
> g.setName()
> g.setValue()
> g.setTs() ///optional
> thrift. get( g )
> I know no one is going to want to make this change because thrift is
> quasi/dead but it would allow us to evolve thrift in a meaningful way. We
> could simple add these new methods under different names as well.
