Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-7919: ------------------------------------- bq. Regarding the lsb, a given client shouldn't really change it during it's lifetime (per the timeuuid spec) This is not true if we incorporate CASSANDRA-7925 If we fix this, which we should, and we use TimeUUID for solving this problem generally, we should _not_ deliver the TimeUUID back to clients, and we should not store it fully indefinitely. We should only use it for guaranteeing uniqueness, and after that truncate it to a simple timestamp. There is no benefit to storing it indefinitely. > Change timestamp representation to timeuuid > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-7919 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7919 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: T Jake Luciani > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 3.0 > > > In order to overcome some of the issues with timestamps (CASSANDRA-6123) we > need to migrate to a better timestamp representation for cells. > Since drivers already support timeuuid it makes sense to migrate to this > internally (see CASSANDRA-7056) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
