title: How do I set the consistency level of an individual CQL query in CQL3?
body: <p>In the <a href="http://www.datastax.com/docs/1.0/references/cql/index">earlier beta releases of CQ</a>L, there was a command I could use to set the read / write consistency of an individual CQL operation. It looked like this:</p>
  
  <p><code>
  SELECT * FROM users WHERE state='TX' USING CONSISTENCY QUORUM;
  </code></p>
  
  <p>I use CQL3 regularly and have a use-case where I need to be able to perform a read with a higher consistency level than the rest of our application. </p>
  
  <p>I looked through the <a href="http://www.datastax.com/documentation/cql/3.0/webhelp/index.html">CQL3 reference</a> and didn't find any mention of any CQL syntax that allows me to change the consistency settings on a per-query basis, unless I'm using cqlsh (not useful for application development.)</p>
  
  <p>How am I supposed to tune the consistency on a per-request basis using CQL3?</p>
