> When replica return 2ndary index results, it's possible for a single replica to return a stale result and that result will be sent back to the user, potentially failing the CL contract.
> For instance, consider 3 replicas A, B and C, and the following situation:
> {noformat}
> CREATE TABLE test (k int PRIMARY KEY, v text);
> CREATE INDEX ON test(v);
> INSERT INTO test(k, v) VALUES (0, 'foo');
> {noformat}
> with every replica up to date. Now, suppose that the following queries are done at {{QUORUM}}:
> {noformat}
> UPDATE test SET v = 'bar' WHERE k = 0;
> SELECT * FROM test WHERE v = 'foo';
> {noformat}
> then, if A and B acknowledge the insert but C respond to the read before having applied the insert, then the now stale result will be returned (since C will return it and A or B will return nothing).
> A potential solution would be that when we read a tombstone in the index (and provided we make the index inherit the gcGrace of it's parent CF), instead of skipping that tombstone, we'd insert in the result a corresponding range tombstone.
