Can someone answer this doubt reg. SSTableSimpleWriter ? I'd asked about this earlier but it probably missed. Apologies for repeating the question (with minor additions) :
""" Let's say I've initialized a *SSTableSimpleWriter* instance and a new column with TTL set : *org.apache.cassandra.io.sstable.SSTableSimpleWriter writer = new SSTableSimpleWriter( ... /* params here */);* *org.apache.cassandra.thrift.Column column; // initialize this with name, value, timestamp, TTL* What is the difference between calling *writer.addColumn()* on the column's name, value and timestamp, and *writer.addExpiringColumn()* on the column's name, value, TTL, timestamp and expiration timestamp ? Does the former result in the column expiring still , in cassandra 1.2.x (i.e. does setting the TTL on a Column object change the name or value in a way so as to ensure the column will expire as required) ? If not , what is the TTL attribute used for in the Column object ?
