Brad Schoening updated CASSANDRA-19939:
---------------------------------------
    Description: 
The utility sstabledump would be more useful if it had an option to display 
just tombsones, much like the -e option to display only partition keys. 

When tombstones exist, it should display the partition key, clustering columns 
and the range, row or cell tombstone.

When investigating tombstone issues, a common way it to run sstabledump.  
However, the output can be very large, on the order of gigabytes and scanning 
the JSON output for tombstone entries is a hunt-and-peck experience or requires 
using a tool like 'jq'.  Being able to just view the tombstones would eliminate 
the issue of the output being too large and not require extraneous tools.
