> I noticed this blog post: http://aphyr.com/posts/294-call-me-maybe-cassandra mentioned issues with millisecond rounding in timestamps and was able to reproduce the issue. If I specify a timestamp in a mutating query, I get microsecond precision, but if I don't, I get timestamps rounded to the nearest millisecond, at least for my first query on a given connection, which substantially increases the possibilities of collision.
> I believe I found the offending code, though I am by no means sure this is comprehensive. I think we probably need a fairly comprehensive replacement of all uses of System.currentTimeMillis() with System.nanoTime().
