On another note, if I had to update the value of such a row key, can this be done without two operations ?
i.e I don't know the exact timestamp of when the record was created, but I do know the event_type and event_id. The only way I see to update a value for a given event_type and event_id is to first do a GET or a Scan to get the value, determine the exact timestamp for the record and then write the updated value. Is there a better way to do this in one server call ? Thanks !
