Performance wise, it's going to be rather negligible since if you use a condition you are, by extension, updating rows in the same partition, and so all of it ends up in the same internal Mutation and there is very very little cost to adding one more column to that mutation. The only minor downside is that it would bump the writeTime() value for that column, but I can't imagine all that many application for which that would be a big deal (though I suppose it could be possible to support UPDATE with an empty SET clause so that you can put condition on a row without updating it). -- Sylvain > > Alternatively, depending on your needs, you might be able to use a static > column (coming with 2.0.6) as your conditional flag, as that column is > shared by all rows in the partition. > > -Tupshin > > > > On Mon, Feb 24, 2014 at 3:57 PM, Clint Kelly <clint.ke...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Hi Tupshin, >> >> Thanks for your help; I appreciate it. >> >> Could I do something like the following? >> >> Given the same table you started with: >> >> x | y | t | z >> ---+---+---+---- >> a | 1 | 2 | 10 >> a | 2 | 2 | 20 >> >> I'd like to write a compare-and-set that does something like: >> >> "If there is a row with (x,y,t,z) = (a,1,2,10), then update/insert a >> row with (x,y,t,z) = (a,3,4,5) and update/insert a row with (x,y,t,z) >> = (a,4,5,6)." >> >> >> I don't see how I could do this with what you outlined above---just >> curious.
