Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-5988: --------------------------------------------- I couldn't get this patch to apply, but it was simple enough to just recreate, so I committed it to 1.2. It looks like we need a separate patch for 2.0/trunk, however. > 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 > Labels: patch > Attachments: 5988.txt > > > 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 was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
