Our documentation states that writing an item with "USING TTL 0" means it
should never expire. This should be true even if the table has a default
TTL. But Scylla mistakenly handled "USING TTL 0" exactly like having no
USING TTL at all (i.e., it took the default TTL, instead of unlimited).
We had two xfailing tests demonstrating that Scylla's behavior in this
is different from Cassandra. Scylla's behavior in this case was also
undocumented.
By the way, Cassandra used to have the same bug (CASSANDRA-11207) but
it was fixed already in 2016 (Cassandra 3.6).
So in this patch we fix Scylla's "USING TTL 0" behavior to match the
documentation and Cassandra's behavior since 2016. One xfailing test
starts to pass and the second test passes this bug and fails on a
different one. This patch also adds a third test for "USING TTL ?"
with UNSET_VALUE - it behaves, on both Scylla and Cassandra, like a
missing "USING TTL".
The origin of this bug was that after parsing the statement, we saved
the USING TTL in an integer, and used 0 for the case of no USING TTL
given. This meant that we couldn't tell if we have USING TTL 0 or
no USING TTL at all. This patch uses an std::optional so we can tell
the case of a missing USING TTL from the case of USING TTL 0.
