Cassandra is not row level consistent

My biggest complaint about C: SQL-like interface. These seems like a terrible decision to me.
If you are used to relational databases and SQL, it's a real struggle to get your head in the right place. Some of the gotchas:

Cell level vs row level consistency/locking (as stated in this article) * Grouping / counting isn't really a thing. * WHERE statements are actually used for identifying the key/value pair you want and not for filtering the rows. * Indexes aren't really indexes. They are definitions of partitions and sort order.

That's actually my favourite part of C*. I think the CQL interface makes programming against it extremely easy, and I dare might say enjoyable.

It makes getting standard, and understanding what's going on a breeze.
