Jun Rao commented on CASSANDRA-223:
-----------------------------------

The assumption that columns in an SSTable with a larger file name always have 
more recent timestamp also breaks in the following cases:
1. after SSTables are compacted (since the compaction works on a group of 
SSTables at a time)
2. hinted data is delivered
3. columns fixed through read repairs


> time-based slicing does not work correctly w/ "historial" memtables

> TimeFilter assumes that it is done as soon as it finds a column stamped 
> earlier than what it is filtering on, but when you have a group of 
> "historical" memtables whose columns were written in an arbitrary order this 
> is not a safe assumption.
> It is not even a safe assumption when dealing with a single memtable + 
> sstable pair, as the attached new test shows.
