------------------------------------------
.bq Do you mind proof-reading the NEWS.txt and check if something is not
clear/can be improved? Thanks!
Looks good, but a few things to reduce confusion:
# Can we stick a PLEASE READ/WARNING/ALERT or something in the title to make it
clear that users actually have to read that section?
Can we be a bit more clear on the following points?
# Expired records due to overflow *will* be removed permanently after a
compaction. (there's only a very small chance that it would survive a
compaction, and that's only if they previously wrote the same record and it
overflowed by more, which somehow made it into a separate SSTable and didn't
get compacted with )
# Data that is expired due to overflow *will* not be queryable and that prior
to patching they'll have no way of telling they inserted with an overflowed TTL.
# How to search for negative min local deletion times (sstablemetadata)
# Probably a good time to note that all users will need to upgrade to >4.0 by
2038 and that during upgrade their TTL's will be set to their expected value.
> Max ttl of 20 years will overflow localDeletionTime

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core
> Reporter: Paulo Motta

> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 2.1.20, 2.2.12, 3.0.16, 3.11.2

>
> CASSANDRA-4771 added a max value of 20 years for ttl to protect against [year
> 2038 overflow bug|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_2038_problem] for
> {{localDeletionTime}}.
> It turns out that next year the {{localDeletionTime}} will start overflowing
> with the maximum ttl of 20 years ({{System.currentTimeMillis() + ttl(20
> years) > Integer.MAX_VALUE}}), so we should remove this limitation.
