Tyler Hobbs commented on CASSANDRA-10226:
-----------------------------------------
I went through the steps of starting to prototype this. On additional change
that we need to make is storing multiple TTLs and localExpirationTimes when
there are multiple timestamps. This is required for merging multiple
LivenessInfos correctly. Basically, during the merge, we keep the TTL and
localExpirationTime from the winning timestamp. When checking if a row is
expired, we only need to consider the minimum localExpirationTime.
On a related note, CASSANDRA-9312 would need to return a list or tuple of
timestamps and TTLs in this case, so there's a bit of special plumbing there.

> Key: CASSANDRA-10226
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-10226
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Tyler Hobbs
> Assignee: Tyler Hobbs
> Labels: materializedviews
> Fix For: 3.0.0 rc1

>
> This issue is similar to CASSANDRA-9928, but with one key limitation: the MV
> partition key must match the base table's partition key. This limitation
> results in the base replica always pairing with itself as the MV replica.
> Because of this pairing, if the base replica is lost, any MV rows that would
> otherwise be ambiguous are also lost. This allows us to avoid the problem
> described in 9928 of not knowing which MV row to delete.
> Although this limitation has the potential to be a bit confusing for users, I
> believe this improvement is still worthwhile because:
> * The base table's partition key will often be a good choice for the MV
> partition key as well. I expect it to be common for users to partition data
> the same way, but use a different clustering order to optimize for (or allow
> for) different queries.
> * It may take a long time to solve the problems presented in 9928 in general
> (if we can solve them at all). On the other hand, this is straightforward
> and is a significant improvement to the usability of MVs.
> I have a minimal prototype of this that works well, so I should be able to
> upload a patch with thorough tests within the next few days.
