Rick Branson commented on CASSANDRA-3929:
-----------------------------------------

Would love to see this as well, as a way to keep data sizes for wide rows under 
control, for use cases where old data at the tail of the row becomes more or 
less useless and time is not a dependable dimension to use as a truncation 
method.

Clearly it doesn't have to be perfect as far as how much data it actually keeps 
around, but I'd like to see the CF configuration be a lower bound on the number 
of columns kept. Basically a way to communicate to Cassandra what your 
requirement is as far as retention, and it takes care of meeting that target. 
An acceptable edge case (at least from my perspective) where this might be 
"break" is if the user does their own deletion of some columns.
