In Cassandra, We are having Upsert concept. That means, Suppose if you inserting data then it is going to store based on your PK, once you will Update records based on PK, then there will be 2 possibilities as:- 1) Either It updates the Existed data with new Timestamp [as we know that record having VALUE as well as TIMESTAMP]. 2) Insert a new record in case of non-existing data.
