When we have a table with partition key p and an indexed regular column
v, the test included in this patch checks the query
SELECT p FROM table WHERE v = 1 AND TOKEN(p) > 17
This can work and not require ALLOW FILTERING, because the secondary index
posting-list of "v=1" is ordered in p's token order (to allow SELECT with
and without an index to return the same order - this is explained in
issue #7443). So this test should pass, and indeed it does on both current
Scylla, and Cassandra.
However, it turns out that this was a bug - issue #7043 - in older
versions of Scylla, and only fixed in Scylla 4.6. In older versions,
the SELECT wasn't accepted, claiming it requires ALLOW FILTERING,
and if ALLOW FILTERING was added, the TOKEN(p) > 17 part was silently
ignored.
The fix for issue #7043 actually included regression tests, C++ tests in
test/boost/secondary_index_test.cc. But in this patch we also add a Python
test in test/cql-pytest.
One of the benefits of cql-pytest is that we can (and I did) run the same
test on Cassandra to verify we're not implementing a wrong feature.
Another benefit is that we can run a new test on an old version, and
not even require re-compilation: You can run this new test on any
existing installation of Scylla to check if it still has issue #7043.
