             Summary: Refactor and simplify Filtering-related 
StatementRestriction part
                 Key: CASSANDRA-12102
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-12102
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Alex Petrov


{{RestrictionSet}} hierarchy was significantly improved by [CASSANDRA-11354], 
although filtering-related {{Restrictions}} are split with restrictions that 
would go through the 2i already in {{RowFilter}}. 

There's still a clear separation, although it's currently made in {{Index}} 
implementations and {{RowFilter}}, by removing things that were handled by 
{{Index}} for post-filtering like it's done 
[here|https://github.com/apache/cassandra/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/cassandra/db/ReadCommand.java#L374-L378].
 

The primary concern is that we've seen several times that there are many 
corner-cases, so we may benefit from splitting columns that are handled by the 
index from ones that are handled by post-filtering early in code and possibly 
keeping them split for all parts of query. 

I suggest to split {{ClusteringColumnRestrictions#addRowFilterTo}} into two 
parts, {{addIndexRestrictions}} and {{addFilteringRestrictions}}. The change 
should be quite simple and make the code simpler to understand and extend the 
filtering / indexing rules.

We can also validate that all restrictions have been respected (although we can 
do that now as well).
