Michael Semb Wever commented on CASSANDRA-18134:
------------------------------------------------
bq. … our new policy of supporting live downgrades …
Can you elaborate please [~benedict].
The two recent discussions I find are (both times interestingly brought forward
by Jacek)
- https://lists.apache.org/thread/dqb4f3z5p6m6p42dx31smn3rx0csj3qw
- https://lists.apache.org/thread/mwkvlno69mzb4thzhvd6gkntdqc6oypk
Introducing features under disabled-by-default flags is different to sstable
formats over a major upgrade. Not that the latter doesn't desire the discussion
because we know automatically upgrade sstable formats (which, aside, I
recommend users to disable when performing a major upgrade). The suggestions
raised make good sense, but in lei of finding this policy already in place
(please correct me), it seems a discussion to have in parallel with, not in
front of, this ticket 🤷🏻♀️
> Improve handling of min/max clustering in sstable
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-18134
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-18134
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Local/SSTable
> Reporter: Jacek Lewandowski
> Assignee: Jacek Lewandowski
> Priority: Normal
> Fix For: 5.x
>
>
> This patch improves the following things:
> # SSTable metadata will store a covered slice instead of min/max clusterings.
> The difference is that for slices there is available the type of a bound
> rather than just a clustering. In particular it will provide the information
> whether the lower and upper bound of an sstable is opened or closed.
> # SSTable metadata will store a flag whether the SSTable contains any
> partition level deletions or not
> # The above two changes required to introduce a new major format for SSTables
> - {{oa}}
> # Single partition read command makes use of the above changes. In particular
> an sstable can be skipped when it does not intersect with the column filter,
> does not have partition level deletions and does not have statics; In case
> there are partition level deletions, but the other conditions are satisfied,
> only the partition header needs to be accessed (tests attached)
> # Skipping sstables assuming those three conditions are satisfied has been
> implemented also for partition range queries (tests attached). Also added
> minor separate statistics to record the number of accessed sstables in
> partition reads because now not all of them need to be accessed. That
> statistics is also needed in tests to confirm skipping.
> # Artificial lower bound marker is now an object on its own and is not
> implemented as a special case of range tombstone bound. Instead it sorts
> right before the lowest available bound in the data
> # Extended the lower bound optimization usage due the 1 and 2
> # Do not initialize iterator just to get a cached partition and associated
> columns index. The purpose of using lower bound optimization was to avoid
> opening an iterator of an sstable if possible.
> See also CASSANDRA-14861
> The changes in this patch include work of [~blambov], [~slebresne],
> [~jakubzytka] and [~jlewandowski]
