------------------------------------------

             Summary: TTL columns with older then gcgrace do not need to flush
                 Key: CASSANDRA-4565
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4565
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Edward Capriolo
            Assignee: Edward Capriolo


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 user very large memtables,small ttl, and low gc_grace it 
is possible that writing memtables can be skipped entirely in some scenarios.
