        in use. For example, OrderPreservingPartitioner and
        CollatingOrderPreservingPartitioner both require UTF-8 keys.

        Example:

        <timestamp> defines the optional timestamp for the new column value(s).
        It must be an integer. Cassandra timestamps are generally specified
        using milliseconds since the Unix epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC).

        <timeToLive> defines the optional time to live (TTL) in seconds for the

        An INSERT is used to write one or more columns to a record in a

        Values for all component columns in the table's primary key must
        be given. Also, there must be at least one non-primary-key column
        specified (Cassandra rows are not considered to exist with only
        a key and no associated columns).

        Unlike in SQL, the semantics of INSERT and UPDATE are identical.
        In either case a record is created if none existed before, and
        udpated when it does. For more information, see one of the

        The SELECT expression determines which columns will appear in the
        results and takes the form of a comma separated list of names.

        It is worth noting that unlike the projection in a SQL SELECT, there is
        no guarantee that the results will contain all of the columns
        specified. This is because Cassandra is schema-less and there are no
        guarantees that a given column exists.

        When the COUNT aggregate function is specified as a column to fetch, a
        single row will be returned, with a single column named "count" whose
        value is the number of rows from the pre-aggregation resultset.

        Currently, COUNT is the only function supported by CQL.
