Summary: Materialized Views: View cells is resurrected Key: CASSANDRA-13409 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13409 Project: Cassandra Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Duarte Nunes Consider the following commands, ran against trunk@0f054fee5c: {code:xml} echo "create keyspace ks WITH replication = {'class': 'SimpleStrategy', 'replication_factor': 1};" | bin/cqlsh echo "create table ks.base (p int primary key, v1 int, v2 int) with gc_grace_seconds = 1;" | bin/cqlsh echo "create materialized view ks.my_view as select * from ks.base where p is not null and v1 is not null primary key (v1, p);" | bin/cqlsh echo "insert into ks.base (p, v1, v2) values (3, 1, 3) using timestamp 1;" | bin/cqlsh bin/nodetool flush ks my_view base echo "delete from ks.base using timestamp 2 where p = 3;" | bin/cqlsh bin/nodetool flush ks my_view base echo "insert into ks.base (p, v1) values (3, 1) using timestamp 3;" | bin/cqlsh bin/nodetool flush ks my_view base echo "select * from ks.my_view;" | bin/cqlsh v1 | p | v2 ----+---+---- 1 | 3 | 3 (1 rows) echo "select * from ks.base;" | bin/cqlsh p | v1 | v2 ---+----+------ 3 | 1 | null (1 rows) {code} As you can see, this incorrectly brings back cell v2=3. There is one definitive problem and a potential one: * Merging rows must be commutative. If a shadowable tombstone is applied after a row tombstone, it will replace that tombstone; if a row marker shadows the shadowable tombstone before the row containing the original data is applied, then any dead cells in said data will be resurrected; * Shadowable tombstones shouldn't compact away previous row tombstones or even deleted cells; if the relevant tombstones have been GCed from the base table, then a base table update won't carry them anymore (alongside a newer row marker). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
