Aleksey Yeschenko commented on CASSANDRA-6506:
----------------------------------------------
Once we have CASSANDRA-6717, I pinky-promise to get rid of most of the stuff
that's bothering you in 3.0 (all new CellName methods, originalType() and
enableCounters()). (I can kill the new CellName methods right now, really).
I honestly have no clue wrt getting rid of local and remote shards, which is
why I'm fine with this current approach in general. I would love to, really, to
just stick to maps, but I just don't see how we can get rid of those.

> This change is related to, but somewhat orthogonal to CASSANDRA-6504.
> Currently all the shard tuples for a given counter cell are packed, in sorted
> order, in one binary blob. Thus reconciling N counter cells requires
> allocating a new byte buffer capable of holding the union of the two
> context's shards N-1 times.
> For writes, in post CASSANDRA-6504 world, it also means reading more data
> than we have to (the complete context, when all we need is the local node's
> global shard).
> Splitting the context into separate cells, one cell per shard, will help to
> improve this. We did a similar thing with super columns for CASSANDRA-3237.
> Incidentally, doing this split is now possible thanks to CASSANDRA-3237.
> Doing this would also simplify counter reconciliation logic. Getting rid of
> old contexts altogether can be done trivially with upgradesstables.
> In fact, we should be able to put the logical clock into the cell's
> timestamp, and use regular Cell-s and regular Cell reconcile() logic for the
> shards, especially once we get rid of the local/remote shards some time in
> the future (until then we still have to differentiate between
> global/remote/local shards and their priority rules).
