Jonathan Ellis resolved CASSANDRA-4947.
---------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix
      Assignee:     (was: Sylvain Lebresne)

Ben Coverston: "Client provided timestamps are helpful if a write fails and you want to "replay" the writes later."

Sylvain: "I remember having used once a client timestamp in a hand-made 'repair' job, where I "repaired" some denormalized table from the data of another one, and setting the timestamp manually was useful to make I wasn't breaking stuff due to a concurrent/newer update."

> Client-provided timestamps cause a lot of pain since we can't make any assumptions as to client:server clock agreement.  Is this worth the pain?  If not we should rip out {{WITH TIMESTAMP}} before 1.2.0.
