Marcus Eriksson commented on CASSANDRA-6434: -------------------------------------------- It is mostly as a safety measure, we guarantee that we keep around tombstones until they have been (incrementally) repaired, no matter what gc_grace is set to > Repair-aware gc grace period > ----------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-6434 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-6434 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Core > Reporter: sankalp kohli > Assignee: Marcus Eriksson > Fix For: 3.0 beta 1 > > > Since the reason for gcgs is to ensure that we don't purge tombstones until > every replica has been notified, it's redundant in a world where we're > tracking repair times per sstable (and repairing frequentily), i.e., a world > where we default to incremental repair a la CASSANDRA-5351. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
