I have a minor complaint about the documentation. On the page for Batch Statements:
http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cql/3.0/cql/cql_reference/batch_r.html It states: "In the context of a Cassandra batch operation, atomic means that if any of the batch succeeds, all of it will." While the above statement may be strictly true, it is misleading. A more accurate statement would be "...if any of the batch FAILS, all of it will." As originally written, a naive reader might assume that atomicity pivots on success; the point of atomicity is reliable failure. -- - michael dykman - mdyk...@gmail.com May the Source be with you.
