It was observed that some use cases might append old data constantly to memtable, blocking GC of expired tombstones. That's because timestamp of memtable is unconditionally used for calculating max purgeable, even when the memtable doesn't contain the key of the tombstone we're trying to GC. The idea is to treat memtable as we treat L0 sstables, i.e. it will only prevent GC if it contains data that is possibly shadowed by the expired tombstone (after checking for key presence and timestamp). Memtable will usually have a small subset of keys in largest tier, so after this change, a large fraction of keys containing expired tombstones can be GCed when memtable contains old data.

If you can use an existing folder, consider adding your test to it. New folders should be used for new large categories/subsystems, or when the test environment is significantly different from some existing suite, e.g. you plan to start scylladb with different configuration, and you intend to add many tests and would like them to reuse an existing Scylla cluster (clusters can be reused for tests within the same folder).
To add a new folder, create a new directory, and then
copy & edit its suite.ini.
