Subject: Resetting a counter in CQL

Folks,

What is the best known method for resetting a counter in CQL?  Is it best
to read the counter and then increment it by a negative amount?  Or to
delete the row and then increment it by zero?

These are the two methods I could come up with.  Both of these seem fine to
me---I'm just wondering if there is a standard way to do this.  Thanks!

Best regards,
Clint
