Brandon Williams commented on CASSANDRA-6042:
---------------------------------------------

Totally fine with DEBUG.  The problem with having it enabled by default is, if 
someone is doing this purposefully and then upgrade, suddenly logging is going 
to consume a large portion of the CPU and tank their cluster.
                
> Add WARN when there are a lot of tombstones in a query

> Now that we count the number of tombstones hit (so it can go in tracing), can 
> we pick some threshold (or make it configurable with 0 being don't warn), and 
> spit out a warning saying "Just went through 10000 tombstones in partition 
> XYZ".
> Right now if you are having GC problems because some row got a bunch of 
> tombstones, you can turn on server side tracing, and hope the bad query gets 
> in there, or you can keep making heap dumps, dig through them, and hope you 
> catch the query in there.
> I have seen code problems at multiple places causing this same issue (some 
> code causing way more tombstones than it should, for just one row).  And it 
> is a PITA+Luck to debug it right now.
