Are you planning to insert rows with keys that existed before? If that's true, there will be no tombstones (as far as I understand Cassandra).
It that's not, then you will get tombstones that might slow down the reads because they have to be skipped until the next compaction. 2012/2/14 Todd Burruss <bburr...@expedia.com> > my design calls for deleting a row (by key, not individual columns) and > re-inserting it a lot and I'm concerned about tombstone build up slowing > down reads.
