yes.

Counter columns only know how to increment (assuming no deletes), so you will get 3. See https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/io/sstable/AbstractSSTableSimpleWriter.java#L153
and https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/CounterColumn.java#L138
