> When purgeInternal is invoked I delete all rows which have a
column in
the range "Infinispan:expiration0000000000000000" to
"Infinispan:expiration0paddednowtimestamp".
Is this efficient from a Cassandra perspective? Would this not involve a
lot of String comparisons?
Cassandra stores columns adjacently according to a predefined user-defined
algorithm. Since all columns are going to be ordered by ascending expiration
this operation is quite quick.
