Hi, I tried to delete some columns using cql2 as well as thrift on C*1.2.2
and instead of being unreachable, deleted columns have a null value.
I am using no value in this CF, the only information I use is the existence
of the column. So when I select all the column for a given key I have the
following returned:
1228#16857 | 1228#16866 | 1228#16875 | 1237#16544 | 1237#16553
-------------------+------------------+------------------+-------------------+------------------
null | null | null |
|
This is quite annoying since my app thinks that I have 5 columns there when
I should have 2 only.
I first thought that this was a visible marker of tombstones but they
didn't vanish after a major compaction.
How can I get rid of these null/ghost columns and why does it happen ?
