Kirk True commented on CASSANDRA-3974: -------------------------------------- There are a few pieces missing yet: # The ability to alter a column family to change the default TTL option. Because I made the change to use max(column TTL, CF TTL) at column mutate time, altering the column family default TTL value will be "lost" on such columns. # I'm fighting with Python to understand why 'DESCRIBE COLUMNFAMILY FOO' doesn't show the new default TTL value. I made the change in the Python and Java layers to accept this new option, but the describe fails to display it. > Per-CF TTL > ---------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-3974 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3974 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Jonathan Ellis > Assignee: Kirk True > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 1.2 > > Attachments: trunk-3974.txt > > > Per-CF TTL would allow compaction optimizations ("drop an entire sstable's > worth of expired data") that we can't do with per-column. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
