[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-8679) Successful LWT INSERT should return any server generated values

["Aleksey Yeschenko (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8679?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14301879#comment-14301879 ] 

Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-8679:
----------------------------------------------

All right. I see how this would be useful to you, although I do think you should either remodel or have ntp on your clients.

That said, it's a very niche request. We don't want to return all the applied results - that's not what most users would want to, on successful execution - and adding logic to select which values are server generated, and which aren't, at the level of Paxos would require reingeneering our LWT implementation. It's not a simple piece of code, but it's very stable now, and I'd prefer to not disrupt it and risk breakage for a niche feature request.

Sorry.

> A failed LWT INSERT returns the row that prevented insertion, along with {{[applied]}} boolean value. A successful LWT INSERT only returns {{[applied]}}.
> It would be helpful to also return any other server generated values, e.g. {{NOW()}} as {{[now]}} (or whatever).
> There is currently no way to know what exactly was inserted without re-querying the row, which is horrible for write-throughput.
