 - It would be super cool if all of that counter work made it possible
to support other atomic data types (sets? CAS?  just pass a assoc/commun
Function to apply).
 - Again with types, pluggable type specific compression.
 - Wishy washy wish: Simpler "elasticity"  I would like to go from
6-->8-->7 nodes without each of those being an annoying fight with tokens.
 - Gossip as library.  Gossip/failure detection is something C* seems to
have gotten particularly right (or at least it's something that has not
needed to change much).  It would be cool to use Cassandra's gossip
protocol as distributed systems building tool a la ZooKeeper.
