[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-1956) Convert row cache to row+filter cache

["Chris Burroughs (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1956?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13136053#comment-13136053 ] 

Chris Burroughs commented on CASSANDRA-1956:
--------------------------------------------

Doesn't the QueryCache's ledger also need to have entries removed when entries are evicted from the primary cache?

Would it be reasonable to have a tunning knob so only rows with more than n columns are filter cached to avoid paying the penalty of storing the row key twice?

> Changing the row cache to a row+filter cache would make it much more useful. We currently have to warn against using the row cache with wide rows, where the read pattern is typically a peek at the head, but this usecase would be perfect supported by a cache that stored only columns matching the filter.
> Possible implementations:
> * (copout) Cache a single filter per row, and leave the cache key as is
> * Cache a list of filters per row, leaving the cache key as is: this is likely to have some gotchas for weird usage patterns, and it requires the list overheard
> * Change the cache key to "rowkey+filterid": basically ideal, but you need a secondary index to lookup cache entries by rowkey so that you can keep them in sync with the memtable
> * others?
