Hi all we are running c* 1.0.8 and found some strange row level tombstone problems.
Some rows (~50 in around 2B keys) have markedForDeleteAt timestamps in the future (so they 'drop' all writes) and 0 values as localDeletionTime.
A non-thorough check didn't bring up any code paths that could lead to a 0 localDeletionTime and our client code is not capable to produce the markedForDeleteAt values we are seeing. First we thought that it's file corruption. But we have multiple SSTs on different nodes that show the same pattern (though I did not check yet whether all belong to the same parition). Also all files are perfectly readable and the columns in the deleted rows are correct too.
I searched Jira but couldn't find anything related. So I was wondering if anyone is aware of a bug that could have led to this?
I'm going to patch scrub to fix the SSTs so it's not a big deal. Still strange ...
Cheers, Daniel
