I am not really familiar with cassandra but I think they do support conditional 
insert/update. Something like Insert into my_table (col1) values ('val1') if 
not exists;.

See if it actually does support conditional insert/update and if you can use 
this feature.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply. This could work, as the problem domain has a unique Id 
in the incoming stream, but I believe the db will be Cassandra, which updates 
instead of throwing errors when inserting a duplicate key. So I can't rely on 
that.
