Hi folks, Currently, I working on custom CQL operator that should return the max timestamp for some partition.
I don't think that scanning of partition for that kind of data is a nice idea. Instead of it, I thinking about adding a metadata to the partition. I want to store minTimestamp and maxTimestamp for every partition as it already done in Memtable`s. That timestamps will be updated on each mutation operation, that is quite cheap in comparison to full scan. I quite new to Cassandra codebase and want to get some critics and ideas, maybe that kind of data already stored somewhere or you have better ideas. Is my assumption right? Best, Artur
