             Summary: add table options required_ttl and max_ttl
                 Key: CASSANDRA-15431
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15431
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Consistency/Repair, Legacy/Local Write-Read Paths, 
Local/Compaction
            Reporter: David Capwell


This is related to CASSANDRA-9420

For use cases where applications know an upper bound on TTL or know that all 
TTLs are the same value, if this is put into the schema then we can choose to 
skip cells past these TTL values rather than converting them to tombstones.

For this to work, we would need these fixed and immutable once set into the 
table, but would need to allow tables to add this after the fact (alter table).

For all new data, the TTLs would need to be checked to make sure that they 
respect the expected property (the ttl is required_ttl if defined, or <= 
max_ttl if defined).  For existing data, we could ether validate the TTL 
matches the expected setting and drop the cell, or we could detect that it 
doesn’t match, and fall back to tombstone (see 
org.apache.cassandra.db.rows.AbstractCell#purge).
