- - ### Field Detail

    - #### LIVE

          public static final DeletionTime LIVE

      A special DeletionTime that signifies that there is no top-level (row) tombstone.

    - #### markedForDeleteAt

          public final long markedForDeleteAt

      A timestamp (typically in microseconds since the unix epoch, although this is not enforced) after which data should be considered deleted. If set to Long.MIN_VALUE, this implies that the data has not been marked for deletion at all.

    - #### localDeletionTime

          public final int localDeletionTime

      The local server timestamp, in seconds since the unix epoch, at which this tombstone was created. This is only used for purposes of purging the tombstone after gc_grace_seconds have elapsed.

    - #### serializer

          public static final DeletionTime.Serializer serializer

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### DeletionTime

          public DeletionTime(long markedForDeleteAt,
                      int localDeletionTime)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### isLive

          public boolean isLive()

      Returns whether this DeletionTime is live, that is deletes no columns.

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `java.lang.Object`

    - #### hashCode

          public final int hashCode()

      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `java.lang.Object`

    - #### toString

          public java.lang.String toString()

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `java.lang.Object`

    - #### compareTo

          public int compareTo(DeletionTime dt)

      Specified by:
        `compareTo` in interface `java.lang.Comparable<DeletionTime>`

    - #### isGcAble

          public boolean isGcAble(int gcBefore)

    - #### isDeleted

          public boolean isDeleted(OnDiskAtom atom)

    - #### unsharedHeapSize

          public long unsharedHeapSize()

      Specified by:
        `unsharedHeapSize` in interface `IMeasurableMemory`
      Returns:
        the amount of on-heap memory retained by the object that might be reclaimed if the object were reclaimed, i.e. it should try to exclude globally cached data where possible, or counting portions of arrays that are referenced by the object but used by other objects only (e.g. slabbed byte-buffers), etc.
