Convert row cache to row+filter cache
-------------------------------------

                 Key: CASSANDRA-1956
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1956
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
            Reporter: Stu Hood


Changing the row cache to a row+filter cache would make it much more useful. We 
currently have to warn against using the row cache with wide rows, where the 
read pattern is typically a peek at the head, but this usecase would be perfect 
supported by a cache that stored only columns matching the filter.

Possible implementations:
* (copout) Cache a single filter per row, and leave the cache key as is
* Cache a list of filters per row, leaving the cache key as is: this is likely 
to have some gotchas for weird usage patterns, and it requires the list 
overheard
* Change the cache key to "rowkey+filterid": basically ideal, but you need a 
secondary index to lookup cache entries by rowkey so that you can keep them in 
sync with the memtable
* others?
