I have a system which computes over an immutable time series and stores the results in Cassandra, which I treat as the source of truth. I think it's fair to call it a DB.

What is the merge strategy after a partition?

The initial comment was mainly intended as a joke since a lot of AP systems use the last-write-wins strategy.

Cassandra has a range of anti-entropy repair processes that run periodically, that's broadly speaking enough in my case.

I don't require last-write-wins. It's an immutable time series with no updates, no deletes.
