sankalp kohli commented on CASSANDRA-5988: ------------------------------------------ We also want to make sure that hint TTL is less than gc grace period. > Make hint TTL customizable > -------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-5988 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-5988 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Core > Reporter: Oleg Kibirev > > Currently time to live for stored hints is hardcoded to be gc_grace_seconds. > This causes problems for applications using backdated deletes as a form of > optimistic locking. Hints for updates made to the same data on which delete > was attempted can persist for days, making it impossible to determine if > delete succeeded by doing read(ALL) after a reasonable delay. We need a way > to explicitly configure hint TTL, either through schema parameter or through > a yaml file. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
