Stefania commented on CASSANDRA-8180:
-------------------------------------

bq. That is, your code is currently completely disabled by the {{if (... 
iterator != null) return null; check in lowerBound()?}} Is there a reason to 
want the code committed then?

It is enabled when there are no tombsones since the iterator is null. However 
we can do better, when there are tombstones we can still use the row index 
bound if there is one.


bq. On the other hand, an assertion in {{UnfilteredIteratorWithLowerBound}} 
that saves the returned {{lowerBound()}} and checks the first {{next()}} to be 
greater-than or equal may be something we want to have anyway.

I've added this. Whilst the test you proposed is fine, existing tests (e.g. 
{{DeleteTest.testDeleteWithRangeAndOneClusteringColumn()}}) started to fail but 
_only when compaction is enabled_. It seems we can have sstables with no 
tombstones, valid clustering values (e.g. 0) and yet the first item is a 
{{Bound.BOTTOM}}. 

Further, it seems that static columns could also have problems with clustering 
values so it's not just tombstones. See the comment in 
{{SinglePartitionReadCommand.shouldInclude()}}. 

Moving back to in progress, might end up modifying sstable metadata format 
after all.
