Cassandra write operation is atomic for all the columns/super columns for a given row key in Column Family. So in your case not all previous operations (assuming each operation was on separate key) will be reverted.

If I use batch update for single CF, and get an exception in last mutation operation, is it means that all previous operation will be reverted. If no, what means atomic in this context?
