The current API is confusing the signature is:
Mutation SetCell(std::string family, std::string column, std::int64_t timestamp,
std::string value);However the timestamp value must be a multiple of 1,000. That is error prone, we are giving users the impression that they can set the timestamp to values like 42, when in fact they cannot.
We should make the API less error prone, and make it:
Mutation SetCell(std::string family, std::string column, std::chrono::milliseconds timestamp,
std::string value);When the server supports microsecond timestamps we can add a new overload:
Mutation SetCell(std::string family, std::string column, std::chrono::microseconds timestamp,
std::string value);Reactions are currently unavailable
