Dominic Letz updated CASSANDRA-8603: ------------------------------------ Attachment: cassandra-2.1-8603_v2.txt The equality in the system.log was in the system keyspace (system/local-7ad54392bcdd35a684174e047860b377) This is because of the code in RangeTombstone.java:242 {code} RangeTombstone t = new RangeTombstone(cell.name(), cell.name(), cell.timestamp(), 0); {code} I've provided a patch v2 that actually catches the case I intended and replaces the duplicated ByteBuffer by using the Composite.end() method to construct a BoundedComposite referencing the original. {code} super(start, (start != stop && stop.equals(start.end())) ? start.end() : stop, delTime); {code} > Cut tombstone memory footprint in half for cql deletes > ------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-8603 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-8603 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Core > Reporter: Dominic Letz > Labels: tombstone > Attachments: cassandra-2.0.11-8603.txt, cassandra-2.1-8603.txt, > cassandra-2.1-8603_v2.txt, system.log > > > As CQL does not yet support range deletes every delete from CQL results in a > "Semi-RangeTombstone" which actually has the same start and end values - but > until today they are copies.
