[jira] [Resolved] (CASSANDRA-2795) Autodelete empty rows

["Sylvain Lebresne (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2795?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sylvain Lebresne resolved CASSANDRA-2795.
-----------------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem

What you are seeing is range ghosts: http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/FAQ#range_ghosts

The row *is* correctly deleted when all columns expires. It won't show as a range ghost once gc_grace seconds have passed.

> In a system where every column expire using TTL. The rows persist, and they are empty.
> If is possible to also delete them if empty when last column had expired.
> I understand that this may be difficult to synchronize between all the cluster.
> If this behavior isn't good for all cases, maybe can be configured in a variable per Column Family.
> Alternatively could be a tool to removed empty rows along all the cluster, the problem to do that using the API is the time between the check is done and the remove is send.
> I think that is preferable to be done when last column has expired.
> Thanks in advance.
