Version 0.4.7

Here is version 0.4.7!

It includes an implementation of the Lamport bakery algorithm in order to lock things where you cannot otherwise but must guarantee unicity.

This is after I found this page on the Cassandra wiki:

http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/Locking

As I was working on this algorithm I found all sorts of little problems that I fixed (documentation, incorrect implementations, synchronization on clusters, etc. see the README.txt for details)

If you're on 0.4.5 or 0.4.6 I strongly suggest that you upgrade because some of the bugs in older versions could be resolved by doing a simple upgrade.

Also, don't forget that I welcome patches in case you find a problem in the library.

Bug Fix (Could not create a ticket so posting here)

Changed QCassandraPrivate.cpp:1035 from

range->setLastKey(it->column.name.c_str());

to

range->setLastKey(cell_key);

This fixed the case "\0" being part of key. (For eg: TimeUUIDType)
