---------------------------------------------
Oups, my mistake. I somehow confused myself. I was not able to reproduce
though, but I'll try harder tomorrow.
> Tombstoned rows not purged after gcgraceseconds

> Key: CASSANDRA-2305
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2305
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Affects Versions: 0.7.0
> Reporter: Jeffrey Wang
> Assignee: Sylvain Lebresne
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.7.4
>
>
> From email to list:
> I was wondering if this is the expected behavior of deletes (0.7.0). Let's
> say I have a 1-node cluster with a single CF which has gc_grace_seconds = 0.
> The following sequence of operations happens (in the given order):
> insert row X with timestamp T
> delete row X with timestamp T+1
> force flush + compaction
> insert row X with timestamp T
> My understanding is that the tombstone created by the delete (and row X) will
> disappear with the flush + compaction which means the last insertion should
> show up. My experimentation, however, suggests otherwise (the last insertion
> does not show up).
> I believe I have traced this to the fact that the markedForDeleteAt field on
> the ColumnFamily does not get reset after a compaction (after
> gc_grace_seconds has passed); is this desirable? I think it introduces an
> inconsistency in how tombstoned columns work versus tombstoned CFs. Thanks.
