Stefania commented on CASSANDRA-9949:
-------------------------------------

Thanks for clarifying the fix version. 

Re. performance are you concerned by the loop on all cells in a column family? 
We could approximate the min timestamp with the memtable creation time but I 
don't think this is a good approximation and it's probably wrong if we receive 
a partition from a remote host with an older timestamp. Storing the minimum 
timestamp in a column family and keeping it up-to-date requires a bit of work 
but we can go down this route if it is the correct choice. However I feel there 
may be a different approximation that I am missing.

I also could use some hints on how to test this. Do you think a dtest is 
achievable? I'm not so sure how easy it is to simulate a 'very-out-of-order' 
write.

> maxPurgeableTimestamp needs to check memtables too

> overlapIterator/maxPurgeableTimestamp don't include the memtables, so a 
> very-out-of-order write could be ignored
