Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-4565:
----------------------------------------------
Do you think expired ttl columns should be replaced with tombstones at memtable
flush? (I'm leaning towards "no"). If you agree then I'm closing this task.
> TTL columns with older then gcgrace do not need to flush

> With memcache many people are willing to sacrifice durability for
> performance. Cassandra has a TimeToLive feature that can be used in caching
> scenarios with low values for gc_grace_seconds. However from a code dive it
> seems that cassandra will always write TTL to disk, even those that are
> beyond gc_grace_seconds. If a use case very large memtables,small ttl, and
> small gc_grace it is possible that flushing these columns to disk can be
> skipped entirely in some scenarios.
