Description

In the CQL3 [batch statement documentation](http://cassandra.apache.org/doc/cql3/CQL.html#batchStmt) we don't mention that there are no ordering guarantees, which can lead to somewhat surprising behavior (CASSANDRA-6291).

We should also mention that you could specify timestamps in order to achieve a particular ordering.
